Physics Planning Exercise
Introduction
This experiment is designed to investigate the resonant frequency of the fundamental mode of vibration of air in a container depends on the volume of air within the container. A standing wave (or stationary wave) is produced at the resonant frequency and a node and an anti-node are produced from this where the node is the point at which the wave never moves at all, and the anti-node is the place at which the wave can move about freely. The fundamental mode is the simplest standing/stationary wave that can be produced.
Resonance is the condition in which an acoustic system vibrates in response to a force applied to the system's natural frequency. The natural frequency is that at which the system would vibrate if deflected once and then allowed to move freely. If a system is excited by the continued application of external forces at this frequency the amplitude of the oscillation will build up and may lead the destruction of the device or structure.
