A física das oscilações mecânicas em instrumentos musicais: Exemplo do berimbau

Abstract

In this work it is discussed the wave propagation in an elastic medium, particularly along strings and the air. The basic principles of the wave propagation are presented, taking as an example case a typical instrument from the state of Bahia, well known by all Brazilians, the berimbau.
