Don't string your class along! Physics scholars discover the fascinating forces behind the music of stringed instruments using an interactive. From a series covering sounds and waves, the interactive asks users to identify nodes and...

Explore how sound travels as waves with a straightforward lesson that explains the basics of waves in relation to sound. The presentation considers sound waves in both open and closed pipes and shows how to calculate wavelength and...

In this waves worksheet, students define 23 vocabulary words associated with the different types of waves and how waves are measured. Students complete 23 matching terms with definitions and draw the superposition of two waves shown.

In this standing waves worksheet, students answer 9 questions about graphs of various waves. They identify standing waves and their nodes, anti-nodes, wavelengths, amplitude, frequency and number of cycles.

In this waves worksheet, students make the nodes, antinodes, waveform, and wavelength for harmonics shown. Students complete 11 fill in the blank questions and 10 problems to solve.

In this thorough lesson, nodes and antinodes are explained and compared to crests and troughs. A "Check Your Understanding," set of questions is included at the end of the lesson with answers.

Through interactive practice problems and illustrations, students explore nodes and antinodes in standing waves.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define antinode, node, fundamental, overtones, and harmonics; identify instances of sound interference in everyday situations; describe how sound interference occurring inside open and...

Review the key terms and skills for sound waves, including how to identify the nodes and antinodes for standing waves in tubes.

After looking at a representative two-point source interference pattern with accompanying order numbers, students investigate the rationale behind the numbering system, and develop some mathematical equations that relate the features of...

This illustrated physics tutorial helps students understand harmonics and wave patterns.

Information about the interference of sound and its causes. Well-illustrated and good explanations of the concepts; part of a large hyper-textbook on various physics concepts.

The opening four points of this article point out the 4 special challenges of playing the modern French horn. When the player uses the "stopping mute", he/she must transpose the music down one semitone in order to play in the correct...
