Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose a string fixed at both ends vibrates to form standing waves. If the frequency of the wave is increased, describe how the number of nodes and antinodes changes.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about fitting more waves into the same space.

Question 2

Explain how standing waves could impact the design of a bridge. How would engineers mitigate issues caused by resonance?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how bridges interact with wind and movement.
