STANDING WAVES A string attached to a turning fork is set vibrating at the same frequency as the tuning fork. The length and tension in the string are adjusted until standing waves are observed on the string. By knowing the tension in the string and the wavelength of the standing waves‚ the frequency of oscillation of the string and thus‚ the tuning fork is found. This value is then compared to a strobelight determination of the frequency. THEORY If transverse waves of constant

Radio waves and Microwaves Radio communications Radio waves are used to broadcast radio or television signals from transmitters‚ which are then converted into electrical signals with an aerial (which is made out of metal to absorb the radio waves) so you can hear and see them. When done so the aerial converts this wave into an electrical signal (because of the electromagnetic waves energy exciting particles in the aerial and causing them to oscillate/vibrate and thus create an electrical current)
