    Standing Waves Worksheet

    Standing waves result from the interaction between waves introduced at one end of a medium and their reflections from the opposite end. At certain frequencies, stationary positions called nodes form, alternating with rapidly oscillating positions called antinodes. The document provides examples and questions to help understand standing wave patterns, including labeling nodes and antinodes, relating length and wavelength for different harmonics, and calculating wave properties like frequency, period, wavelength and speed.

    Standing Waves Worksheet

    A standing wave pattern results in a string, rope or slinky as a result of the interaction between
    the waves introduced on one end with the reflection of the waves returning from the opposite
    end. At certain frequencies, a pattern will be established within the medium in which there are
    positions that always appear to be stationary. Midway between each of these stationary
    positions are positions which are undergoing rapid motion between a maximum positive and
    maximum negative displacement from their resting position.
    1. The positions along the medium that appear to be stationary are known as . They are points of
    no displacement.

    2. The positions along the medium that are undergoing rapid motion between a maximum positive and
    maximum negative displacement are known as . They are the opposite of the points of no
    displacement.

    3. Label the nodes (N) and antinodes (AN) in the following standing wave patterns.

    4. In each of the two diagrams of standing wave patterns, count the number of nodes and antinodes.

    5. Each node is separated by the adjacent node by a distance that is equal to wavelength.

    6. Draw the standing wave pattern that would result on the string below if the string vibrated with the first,
    second, and third harmonic wave patterns. State the relationship between length and wavelength for each of
    the three patterns.
    7. The string at the right is 1.5 meters long and is vibrating as
    the first harmonic. The string vibrates up and down with 33
    cycles in 10.0 seconds. Determine the frequency, period,
    wavelength and speed for this wave.

    8. The string at the right is 6.0 meters long and is vibrating as


    the third harmonic. The string vibrates up and down with 45
    cycles in 10.0 seconds. Determine the frequency, period,
    wavelength and speed for this wave.

    9. The string at the right is 5.0 meters long and is vibrating as


    the fourth harmonic. The string vibrates up and down with
    48 cycles in 20.0 seconds. Determine the frequency, period,
    wavelength and speed for this wave.

    10. The string at the right is 8.2 meters long and is vibrating as
    the fifth harmonic. The string vibrates up and down with 21
    cycles in 5.0 seconds. Determine the frequency, period,
    wavelength and speed for this wave.
