My Learning object describes what standing waves are, how to determine where the nodes and antinodes of a standing wave are and also about the fundamental and resonant frequencies. Their is a variety of questions from multiple choice, to true and false and also a problem solving question.

2. WHAT IS A STANDING WAVE?
• The vibration modes associated with strings
, for example, have patterns called standing
waves.
• Standing waves are combinations of two
waves moving in opposite directions to
each other.
• They have particular points that are fixed
(frequency for e.g.), whereas other points
between them vibrate with a maximum
amplitude.
3. NODES & ANTI-NODES
• Nodes: Points on the string that
are rest all the time and have 0
amplitude.
• Anti-nodes: points that move
with the max. amplitude (2A).
4. Q #1: WHICH OPTION CORRESPONDS TO THE
CORRECTLY LABELED NODES AND ANTINODES?
(CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY)
A. Point A and C are nodes.
B. Point A & B are nodes.
C. Point C & D are nodes.
D.Point A & C are antinodes.
E. Point B & D are antinodes.
F. All are false.
A C

5. Q #1 SOLUTION.
A. Point A and C are nodes.
B. Point A & B are nodes.
C. Point C & D are nodes.
D.Point A & C are antinodes.
E. Point B & D are antinodes.
F. All are false.

6. FUNDAMENTAL FREQUENCY (“FIRST HARMONIC”)
STANDING WAVE
• Has the lowest frequency and
longest wavelength.
• Remember, “T” in this formula
refers to Tension Force not Period!

8. Q#2: TRUE OR FALSE? IF THE LENGTH OF THE
STRING IS INCREASED, THE FUNDAMENTAL
FREQUENCY WILL DECREASE.
A)True
B)False
9. Q#2 SOLUTION.
A) True
B) False
The fundamental frequency does in fact decrease when
the length of the string is increased. This can be seen
from the formula above, assuming if the mass and
string tension are kept the same. If the length is
increased the components in the square root will
decrease while the denominator (2L) will increase
resulting in an overall decrease of frequency.

LENGTH 2 M, TENSION OF 500 N AND
FUNDAMENTAL OF 10 HZ?
