Physics Girl Resonance Quiz

What unexpected issue did Diana face when trying to find the resonant frequency of the tube?

• The tube broke.

• Her voice cracked on certain notes.

• The tube changed color.

• The tube made no sound.

What is the natural frequency of an object?

• The frequency at which it absorbs light.

• The frequency at which it resonates naturally.

• The frequency at which it changes shape.

• The frequency at which it stops vibrating.

What happens when you sing at a wine glass's natural frequency?

• The glass produces a low hum.

• The glass changes color.

• The glass vibrates and may break.

• The glass becomes silent.

Why was Diana unable to sing the resonant frequency of the tube?

• The tube was too long.

• The force at resonance was too high.

• The tube was not made of glass.

• The tube was filled with water.

What analogy did Professor Wolfe use to explain the resonance phenomenon?

• A pendulum swinging.

How do sopranos adjust their vocal tracts when singing high notes?

• By singing at a lower pitch.

• By holding their breath.

• By tuning their vocal tracts to match the note.

• By closing their mouths.

What is the benefit of sopranos tuning their vocal tracts to the note they sing?

• It helps them project with less energy.

• It makes their voice deeper.

• It changes the color of their voice.
