Name That Harmonic: Closed-End Air Columns
The Name That Harmonic: Closed-End Air Columns Concept Builder is a tool that sharpens the learner's skill at recognizing relationships between the standing wave patterns for a resonating air column and the frequencies and wavelengths of the various harmonics. There are three activities included in this Concept Builder. The first activity -
ID the Pattern - provides the learner practice identifying the standing wave patterns for the first six harmonics of a resonating, closed-end air column. In the second activity -
Frequency - learners are given the fundamental frequency of a resonating closed-end air column and must identify the standing wave pattern for a harmonic of a second frequency. In the third activity -
Wavelength - learners are given the length of a closed-end air column and must identify the standing wave pattern for a harmonic that has a given wavelength. Question-specific help is provided for each of the 16 situations. Use of this Concept Builder with our Task Tracker system allows teachers to track student progress.
Users are encouraged to open the Concept Builder and explore. There is no need for an activity sheet for this Concept Builder. However, the 30 different questions can be printed. View
