Resonance and Diffraction

the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening

• reflection

• refraction

• diffraction

• interference

the response of a standing wave to another wave of the same frequency, with dramatic increase in amplitude of the standing wave

• constructive interference

• destructive interference

• resonance

• interference

• Refraction

• Rarefaction

• Destruction

How can resonance break an object?

• forcing an object to vibrate at its natural frequency for a short time

• forcing an object to vibrate at different frequencies for a short time

• forcing an object to vibrate at different frequencies for a longtime

• forcing an object to vibrate at its natural frequency for a long time

• Diffraction
• Interference
