Standing Waves and Resonance
Standing Wave: “Standing waves” are formed from two or more traveling waves that collide and are “in tune” with one another in such a way that their amplitudes add or subtract in repetitive ways. This is called “Resonance”.

Standing Waves and ResonanceGiven a string whose length is L:
The longest standing wave possible is called the “Fundamental”, or “1st harmonic”.

What fraction of a sine wave is this? ½ wave
Therefore, using “ L”, how long is one full sine wave (l)
