What do musical instruments, swinging playgrounds, and collapsing bridges all have in common? They’re all part of the strange and fascinating world of resonance and standing waves. In this physics guide, you’ll learn what resonance is, how standing waves form, and why wave reinforcement matters in real life—from sound to safety.
Waves are everywhere—sound, light, and even the vibrations in your phone. In this detailed and easy-to-follow guide, we explore the three most important wave properties: amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. With clear examples, real-life connections, and fun facts, you’ll understand how waves work and why they’re so important.
This article explores the strange but true concept of wave-particle duality—where light and matter behave as both particles and waves. Learn how experiments like the double-slit experiment and the photoelectric effect revealed this dual nature, and find out how it affects everything from lasers to solar panels.
