Description: A
motor hangs on the end of a string. Its weight sets the tension
in the string, and remains constant as does its frequency of vibration.
As the string is lengthened, standing waves appear at L = 1/2 lamda, 2/2 lamda, 3/2 lamda, etc.. showing resonance at differring lengths.
Questions:
What analogy to sound resonating in a tube does this show?
Half wavelength tubes or quarter wavelength tubes? What happens if the virbration rate is reduced by inserting a dummy battery?
