Through illustrated diagrams and interactive practice examples, students explore the physics of sound in open-end air column musical instruments.

Through illustrated diagrams and interactive practice examples, students explore the physics of sound in closed-end air column musical instruments.

Using diagrams and animations, students discover how the anatomy of the ear and the physics of sound waves work together to allow us to hear.

Review of how to produce beats through the constructive and destructive interference of sound waves.

In this illustrated physics tutorial, students learn about sound wave behaviors and apply them to the reflection, diffraction, and refraction of sound waves.

This interactive physics tutorial allows students to investigate the nature, properties and behaviors of sound waves and apply basic wave principles towards an understanding of music.

Students explore intensity of sound waves and the decibel scale in this interactive physics tutorial.

Students study animations and diagrams to learn about the reflection behavior of sound waves.

Students discover factors that affect the speed of sound waves through a medium with illustrated examples and interactive practice problems.

Use this interactive physics tutorial to introduce students to the concepts of pitch and frequency in sound waves.

Students see illustrated diagrams and animations to help them understand the pressure characteristics of a sound wave.

Through animations, videos, and text, students discover that all objects have a natural frequency or set of frequencies at which they vibrate.

This physics tutorial focuses on the application of the Doppler effect to sound.

The focus of this physics tutorial is on the application of mathematical relationships and standing wave concepts to musical instruments in three general categories of instruments: instruments with vibrating strings, open-end air column...

A guitar string has a number of frequencies at which it will naturally vibrate. These natural frequencies are known as the harmonics of the guitar string. Students work through several example problems.

Elaborate on the essential characteristics and the causes of standing wave patterns and relate these patterns to the vibrations of musical instruments.
