Learning standards covered by this activity:
Major Understanding
- 4.3f Resonance occurs when energy is transferred to a system at its natural frequency.
- 4.3m When waves of a similar nature meet, the resulting interference may be explained using the principle of superposition. Standing waves are a special case of interference.
Process Skill
- 4.3 iii. identify nodes and antinodes in standing waves
- 4.3 vi Predict the superposition of two waves interfering constructively and destructively (indicating nodes, antinodes, and standing waves)
The above learning standards were taken from the Core Curriculum Physical Setting/Physics, The University of the State of New York, The State Education Department.
