Mission SM10: Harmonics for Closed-End Air Columns



Mission SE10 includes questions that target your understanding of closed-end air columns, their harmonic patterns, length-wavelength relationships, and frequency relationships.  The mission consists of 40 questions organized into 9 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcomes for this mission are ...
 

Learning Outcomes

  • The student should be able to identify the standing wave patterns for closed-end air columns and use them to state the length-wavelength relationships.
  • The student should be able to recognize the relationship between the frequencies of the various harmonics for closed-end air columns.
