What is an everyday life example of resonance (in terms of sound waves?

Question

Pls answer quickly and well, i really need to know this!! Thx 4 ur ans

Answer 1

If you take two guitars both tuned the same and place them side by side, when you pluck the A string on one guitar you will ser the A string on the other guitar start to vibrate as well. That's sympathetic resonance.

Answer 2

See University oF Salford Acoustics Lab page

A glass has a natural resonance, a frequency at which it will vibrate easily. A recent example of resonance was the millennium walkway in London, which oscillated alarmingly when a large number of people walked on it (this has now be cured). Blow across a beer bottle and you might get a note. This is another example of a resonance; in this case the air in the bottle neck is resonating against the spring provided by the air in the main body of the bottle. In the case of the glass we are trying to shatter, the body of the glass vibrates at resonance. If the force making the glass vibrate is big enough, the size of the vibration will become so large that the glass breaks. The most dramatic example of this was the Tacoma narrow bridge which was oscillated by cross-winds so strongly that it broke.

Answer 3

It is the combination of different sounds sources (instrumental)
which harmonise (or not) and boost the sum of all, which
includes the feedback "echo" from the Concert Hall design
and adds a further boost with sound waves bouncing back
from walls etc. In general it amplifies the sound including
voice and results in a much richer sound than if played in
the open. In concert halls distances and shape of the
structure plays a big role, and the desired result is called
"harmonic resonance".

Answer 4

Examples are the acoustic resonances of musical instruments, the tidal resonance of the Bay of Fundy, orbital resonance as exemplified by some moons of the solar system's gas giants, the resonance of the basilar membrane in the biological transduction of auditory input, and resonance in electrical circuits.

A resonant object, whether mechanical, acoustic, or electrical, will probably have more than one resonant frequency (especially harmonics of the strongest resonance). It will be easy to vibrate at those frequencies, and more difficult to vibrate at other frequencies. It will "pick out" its resonant frequency from a complex excitation, such as an impulse or a wideband noise excitation. In effect, it is filtering out all frequencies other than its resonance.

Answer 5

Blow across the top of a bottle. You will hear a sound dependant upon the size of the bottle. Small bottles or ones filled with liquid will have a higher resonant frequency.

Try this. With a normal pop bottle you will hear a low frequency sound as you blow across the top. Blow very hard and you will hear a higher frequency whistle. This is a harmonic of the original sound. Still a resonant sound, but a multiple of the fundamental frequency.

Answer 6

Ever see a singer break a glass with a high note? That's resonance; her voice hits a pitch that causes the glass to vibrate until it breaks. Or, if you're near a car playing loud music with a heavy bass beat, you can feel the vibrations in the steering wheel or in your chest.

Answer 7

Ringing of a bell.
The energy of the striker hitting the rim is converted to sound waves by the vibrations created in the rim.
The frequency depends on the size, metal density etc. etc.

Answer 8

Sing in the shower!
People who are not very good at singing sound much better singing in the shower because the pure notes they do emit are resonated (experience accoustic effects) in a shower cubicle, while their less harmonious notes (a combination of waves) are dampened.
You could also state breaking wine glasses but I prefer not to test that one.
