A string is driven by a function generator that is attached to an oscillator. By adjusting the frequency of the oscillation, the string can be used to demonstrate standing waves. A strobe light is ...

Usually a vibrating string produces a sound whose frequency is constant. Therefore, since frequency characterizes the pitch, the sound produced is a constant note. Vibrating strings are the basis of ...

The science version of resonance is behind everything from lasers to MRIs and bridges that vibrate themselves to death*. Without resonance we wouldn't have music or voices, our whole world would be ...

Standing waves are involved in various fundamental, natural phenomena over a wide range of scales, that is, from electron orbitals to planetary oscillations. Interactions between standing waves and ...
