Demonstration
Firstly it is advisable to start with a couble of demonstrations to help explain how a standing wave is formed and apply the terms nodes and anti-nodes. Two obvious demonstartions of standing waves are:
- to get the pupils to make standing transverse waves with the slinky
- to observe standing waves on a string using a strobe
Resources
Analysis
As well as identifying the major terms and the processes that occur to form a standing wave, it is an opportunity to explain how stinged instruments work and describe the names of the different frequencies e.g. 1st Harmonic
