Mission SM5: Resonance and Standing Wave Patterns


Mission SM5 pertains the cause and result of resonance. Additionally, you will have to relate frequencies of various harmonics to one another and identify the harmonic number of various standing wave patterns. The mission consists of 39 questions organized into 10 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 cause and result of resonance and the basic vocabulary associated with resonance.
  • The student should be able to associate standing wave patterns with harmonic numbers and identify the frequency relationships for the various harmonics of a vibrating object.
