    Resonant Waves
Click For Summary
Resonant generated waves occur when the frequency of an external stimulus matches the natural frequency of a system, leading to amplified oscillations. The term "resonance" refers to this phenomenon of increased amplitude due to the alignment of frequencies. Some participants in the discussion argue that the term lacks a specific meaning in certain contexts, suggesting that it may be misused. Understanding resonance is crucial for accurately describing wave behavior in various physical systems. Ultimately, clarity in the definition of resonance enhances the comprehension of wave dynamics.

In my experience that description has no particular meaning. Resonance implies a matching of innate vibration frequency with an external stimulus

Thread 'What is the pressure of trapped air inside this tube?'

As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air. Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side. Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct? What is the pressure for all points in senario C? (My question is basically coming from watching...
