    Year 12 Sound Problem (Involves resonance in a closed pipe).

    Homework Statement Hi :) This question is from a test i had today. For some stupid reason we get to finish it off tomorrow. I figured i do what everyone else will, and sort out the what i didn't understand. Luckily this was it. Anyway, the question is typed from memory so it may seem a bit odd...

    What Defines the Maximum Frequency in Damped Driven Oscillations?

    I am looking at forced vibrations and I have come across this: (w_max)^2 = (w_0)^2 - (1/2)y^2 Now I am not entirely sure of what the (w_max) is. ANd where does this equation come from? It was simply stated without a derivation. THanks guys!:biggrin:

    Modelling wind resonance in turbines (linear)

    Hello! I chose an aspect of a dynamical system exhibiting resonance to model. The focus of the project is on the resonant response of the system. If the wind has a frequency that matches the natural frequency of a turbine, then the turbine will resonate due to wind. I am working on modelling...

    Particle resonance and the resonance in a driven, damped classical

    I am trying to understand the analogy between a particle resonance and the resonance in a driven, damped classical oscillator. I guess I should first ask for a clear definition of a particle resonance - is this just an excited state which decays quickly? I understand that the KG equation...

    Standing waves and resonance frequency

    Homework Statement Hi all. I have shown that standing waves occur on a string of length L (fastened at x=0 and x=L) for angular frequencies: \omega_n=n\frac{v\pi}{L}. Are these frequencies the same as the strings resonance frequencies? Thanks in advance. Regards, Niles.

    Examples of resonance of sound in tubes

    Hello :) We did a lab in class and the lab was about resonance of air columns. We used a tube and filled it with water. Then we held a tuning fork above the tube to see at which points the resonance occurs. If a vibrating fork is held over the open end of the column, the loudness of the sound...
