Resonance
RESONANCE: ' The property whereby any vibratory system responds with
maximum amplitude to an applied force having the a frequency equal to its
own.'
In english, this means that any solid object that is struck with a sound
wave of equal sound wave vibrations will amplitude the given tone. This
would explain the reason why some singers are able to break wine glasses
with their voice. The vibrations build up enough to shatter the glass. This is
called RESONANCE.
Resonance can be observed on a tube with one end open. Musical tones
can be produces by vibrating columns of air.…
