Hey everyone we're trying to keep everything as orderly as possible, which is probably a fool's errand. To stop things from getting too out of hand we ask
- Keep content you add to the appropriate section
- Arial font size 14
- On bullets. Post description of content - link to content.
- keep it clean...
Example Problems
- Here is a powerpoint that provides an overview of Standing Waves as well as practice problems for you to try. https://cass.ucsd.edu/~rskibba/work/Teaching_files/Phys1C_15April.pdf
- Linked text book explaining standing wave resonance https://physics.info/waves-standing/
- Boundary conditions- You are sitting under a bridge downtown where you drew some blood for the red cross when it just so happens two beat boxers approach both ends at the same time of this 2.7m long tunnel under a bridge. What fundamental frequency will you hear?
