Musical instruments and throats create different notes by making the air around them vibrate at particular frequencies (check out part one to find out how they do it). When you pluck the A string on a ...

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 ...

In the past, demonstrations of standing-wave phenomena could be done using an actual, physical transmission-line setup called “Lecher Lines.” 1 This method required laborious measurements to determine ...
