S655: Exploring the physics of resonance through sound waves in Splash Fall 2020 (Oct. 31, 2020)
“Resonance” is a concept in physics that ties many aspects of our natural world together, from musical instruments to collapsing bridges. Come learn about the physics of waves, frequencies, and how resonant frequencies affect our everyday life! We will be doing some hands-on data-taking involving wine glasses, thin-necked glass bottles (such as empty beer or wine bottles), and a ruler, but will also be including computer-based activities for anyone who doesn’t have these objects at home.
