A better description of resonance

[@emlun]

A very intuitive example is a children's swing set. If you've ever been a child you'll know you can give yourself a tiny amount of speed by leaning forward or backward on the swing, and you can gain more speed by alternating with precise timing. If your timing is off (not resonant) you'll lose speed instead, but by making your small disturbances at the swing's resonant frequency you keep accumulating more and more energy.

[@edwardwheeler197]

Emil Lundberg - if you’ve ever been a child??? Am I missing something?

[@leavewe]

that's not what i remember, the speedup has nothing to do with resonance, it's just about putting your center of mass further in front as you come down and back when you come back

[@agentjeb4103]

@@leavewe I think hes trying to say its more effective at that particular point, if you put your center of mass in the correct direction. There is a wave-like behavior in the period of the swing, so the analogy works, but its more of a math reason than a physics reason.

Small thing: The perceived frequency is actually the loudest resonant frequency - this just so happens to almost always be the lowest one, but it isn't always. In a clarinet (I think?) it is possible to create sounds where the loudest resonant frequency is not the lowest.

[@SteveMould]

+GABRIELFILMSTUDIOS good info. Have you heard of the missing fundamental illusion? It's related and is really cool!

[@EsIsJaNichtsMehrFrei]

Steve Mould Good point. I'm not an expert, but i had a lecture about psychoacousics and i wrote my Bachelors Thesis in this field. Because the higher harmonics are always at frequency multiples of the base-frequency, you can even fill in missing ones. The perceived pitch for tones especially complex ones is very difficult. But the most basic thing to know is, you perceive it at the base frequency, even if its missing; not at the loudest. Try searching for "virtual pitch" its very interesting. And if you are really curious: psychoacoustics by Hugo Fastl and Eberhard Zwicker is a great book, in which i actually just looked ;-P

[@mattlm64]

How do you define base frequency? If it isn't the loudest then what is it? What I've found is that applying frequency or amplitude modulation to a wave changes the perception of pitch. Ratios above 1 increase the perception of pitch, and ratios below 1 decrease it. At least this is true for the ratios I've tested. Also adding harmonics to a sine wave to create a square wave, sawtooth wave etc. increases the pitch which makes sense as it involves adding higher frequencies.

[@EsIsJaNichtsMehrFrei]

Matthew Mitchell Sorry my english isn't that great, so I'm kinda struggeling to explain. The multiples for harmonic tones are only derived of positive integers. Everyone of them has a factor, which accounts for the timbre or "how" it sounds. (Imagine how different instruments or vowels on the same tone still sound different.) I think its easiest understood with an example. Take 1kHz as your base frequency. The harmonics are then at 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, kHz and so on. If you would only see 3, 4, 5 and 6 kHz you could still figure out, that the base would have been 1 kHz, cause there's no other base frequency which would fit. Your hearing kind of checks what base-frequency would fit and is the highest. If there were only 2, 4, 6, kHz and so on you would perceive its base frequency at 2 kHz, even though 1 kHz, 500 Hz, or 400 Hz would theoretically fit. The less harmonics there are the more ambiguity there is, of course. Does that make sense?

[@mattlm64]

Sure, that makes sense, though personally I have listened to the "missing fundamental illusion" and to me the version without the fundamental sounds different. It sounds tinnier and you can notice the absence of the fundamental. The overall perception of pitch is higher. Also, as I mentioned, the addition of harmonics and sidebands to a frequency changes the perception of pitch. I've noticed this when experimenting with additive synthesis, frequency modulation and amplitude modulation. Surely you would agree that a sawtooth wave or a square wave sounds higher in pitch than a sine wave of the same frequency?

[@randyjackson140]

When I was much younger I used to do a lot of cave exploring. One thing I always enjoyed doing was finding the resonant frequency of the cave passage I was in. It was usually a low wet long crawlway or canyon. It was normally a fairly low frequency, like when you clear your throat. When I would find it, it would greatly amplify and rumble down the passageway. Lots of fun, but sometimes it unnerved the people I was with.

[@lucapontiggia3123]

I always liked the statement my physics prof told me in my honours year. Resonance is the frequency at which maximal energy transfer occurs from the extremal driving force into the system.

[@gizmoguyar]

Is that really true? If the impedance of the extremal driving force is extremely non linear, it's possible for a system to resonate at a frequency where the energy is lower than another non-resonant frequency. I was always taught that the resonant frequency is the frequency where the ratio of stored energy to dissipated energy is the highest. On both sides of resonance, the energy dissipation rate increases faster than the stored energy increases

[@StanislavMudrets]

It isn't just that the resonant frequency gets amplified as you keep supplying the air with white noise, thereby constantly disturbing the system, but that the other frequencies cancel each other and themselves out. This is a kind of overproduction of variants, random variation and natural selection taking place - with some frequencies, those that fit the environment, being accumulated (essentially getting bigger in amplitude) while those that aren't fit to their environment getting killed off over time (the amplitude being brought down to 0). As long as the air keeps getting supplied, the fit individual frequencies keep being accumulated. This is an equivalent to a single generation of evolutionary dynamics (as in random variation and selection) taking place.

Resonance is always associated with increasing power. When the wind causes a tree to resonate, it falls over. If the tiny energy from a radio antenna is fed with resonance, it can be processed further. Every thing has its own frequency with which it resonates. The size of the oscillation amplitude depends on the internal consumption, which is the damping. The human body can also be set into vibrations. Its natural frequency is around 2Hz. This is very helpful in relieving muscle tension.🤠

A minor imprecision: at 3:44 Steve correctly explains that the nodes are where there's no air movement, but at 6:50 he talks instead about pressure. In waves, pressure and velocity of air are inversely proportional, so maximum velocity corresponds to minimum pressure and vice versa, so for instance close to the wall the velocity of the air particles is zero but the pressure is at its peak. So in a node there's actually the maximum of pressure.

Is the explanation for the bottle correct? If so, then it would also work with your mouth replaced by a white-noise speaker, something I really doubt. The phenomenon is usually explained with Helmholtz resonance. As for the Rubens tube, I think it is great visually! But it also raises some questions that are unrelated to resonance (Why does more pressure variation produce more fire? Why is there fire everywhere when there is a sudden noise in the music?). Another great tool is an electric motor with a rope and a synced strobe-light (but is perhaps not so good on camera). I would love an explanation on the bottle-thing, and keep up the good work!

[@pubcollize]

A speaker at a size realistically-similar to a bottle won't move nearly as much air as your mouth. Regardless of what sound the speaker generates. If you place a funnel over a speaker in a club, or a over a stage-size guitar amp, you could get the same result.

[@MushookieMan]

A speaker doesn't produce a net flow of air like your mouth does, it merely vibrates the air. Steve's explanation made me cringe, sorry, it can't be right.

[@erzangel135]

You are right with the Helmholtz resonance, but wrong with the speaker. Because it's not about getting white noise out of your mouth, its about getting white (or really any, since noise is just a random appearance of all frequencies at statistical levels) noise at the corners of the bottle. (You can blow a bottle without making noise yourself). You can produce noise at the bottle, when the air flow gets disrupted at the corner, and in doing so, create all the frequencies. Since the resonance frequency of the bottle (only one!) is also included, it will bring the mass-spring system of the bottle into motion, leading to the resonance. All the other frequencies also bring it to motion, but since they are incompatible in frequency, they will lose their energy completely, becoming inaudible. It is like filtering the noise with a bell-shaped EQ with a big Q factor.

[@bunberrier]

I'm a hobby musician, but also a hobby luthier. From various observations over the years.

[@247flashgames]

How would the experiment differ with different waveforms: square, sawtooth, pulse, and so on?

[@superdau]

Not much. You will mostly see the lowest resonant frequency in the signal. All the other frequencies, including the higher resonants, typically have much lower amplitude. (just check out any fourier spectrum of a signal and you know what to expect)

[@superdau]

Like I said in the preivous comment... It will look the almost same (if there is any difference at all).

[@DRXxUziixX95]

with any luck the flames should form the shapes.

[@wiadroman]

Waves of different shapes are compositions of sine waves (Fourier series) so you will see a composition of standing waves. However, since lower freqs in Fourier series usually dominate, the result will be similar to pure sine wave of the base freq. Also, there is the "blurring" effect of the medium (each medium works as a low pass filter).

The best way I've explained resonance that people can really relate to is pushing a child on a swing.

If you tried to push them somewhere in the middle of the swing, particularly on the way back, it could completely disrupt their swinging motion. The only way to keep them swinging, and to increase the height of their swing, is to push with just the right timing. That timing of how frequently you need to push the swing: that's the resonant frequency of the child-swing system. It's also the same frequency as the child would end up swinging on their own if you simply pulled them back and let them swing naturally.

I'm new here and I'm so glad that I found another great science KZbinr. Btw what's the name of the song?

At Rest - Kevin MacLeod @alistairferguson6590 had mentioned it earlier.

[@tayranates3611]

I think what you define in introduction is natural frequency. It is the frequency that a system is oscillates when you give it energy. For example, you just hit a cord of an guitar and its starts to vibrate. That vibration is called natural frequency. The resonant frequency is defined as the frequency which the gain of the system is maximum. It can be tought as a graph of the system outputs power in y axes and in x axes respective frequencies.

[@noambarenholtz5804]

So the resonant frequencies are based on the harmonic series?

[@MrGreenAKAguci00]

Now the same thing happens with sound in any enclosed space. Rooms also have their own resonances and standing waves which can seriously mess up sound of someone's Hi Fi.

[@AndrewJJ-0114]

This is a brilliant video but I died a little inside when you pronounced "timbre" like "timber".

[@gideonmunnik7976]

Can relate XD

[@jonassalk1387]

Sweet Cheeses, It Didn't worry me . Like the spelling of litre and liter or fore and four , the world is so full of sophistry, it's quite pleasant to find people still innocent. I would have expected you, if anybody, could appreciate such honest a character trait.

[@AkamiChannel]

Who cares how it is pronounced, honestly? Just people who want to sound smarter than others. I looked it up long ago and saw two acceptable pronunciations. Have you visited every English-speaking corner of the Earth? Yes it is originally a French word but we don’t use French phonemes and 1/4 of English is from French anyway.

[@AndrewJJ-0114]

@@AkamiChannel Obviously nobody really cares how it is pronounced; hence why I started my comment by saying it was a brilliant video -- I was very clearly stating that the mispronunciation didn't affect my enjoyment of the video. But it's just a fun comment about a small "quirk" in his pronunciation -- the fact that you are so offended by it suggests you have a massive chip on your shoulder.

[@AkamiChannel]

JesusJuenger Not offended. I guess so, but I’m just saying it’s not a “quirk” if that’s the normal pronunciation in some place. I haven’t been to every place to say if it is or not.

[@spcraftsman2656]

I completely understood what resonance frequencies are right when you explained it with your tube(not the bought one).

[@domramsey]

Disappointed that you didn't pour the bottle of water on the floor...

[@788rad]

I made a Ruben's Tube for my Year 12 physics assignment. it took many drill bits to make it cause I used a cast iron tube. My gas was plumbed in through a metal tube through a rubber bung at one end and the speaker was over a balloon on the other end. it worked really well. The thing about it that surprised me most was as I walked around the room at regular positions there were points where the frequency was inaudible, where the sound from the speaker and the reflection from the rubber bung had cancelled each other out.

[@TheRealGirlWeeb]

"the timber changes" you sure you don't mean timbre (i don't see any wood in the bottle after all)?

[@meadish]

Like many other French words, 'timbre' in English always sounds a bit off without the proper nasal vowel (to a French ear, it can sound like you're saying 'tambre' or 'tombre'), and if you do pronounce it according to French, many people think you are annoying... so I kind of prefer 'timber' as a pronunciation in English, although it is technically non-standard and causes the confusion with lumber/wood. Ho hum.

[@unnunn12]

when you said 'at the speed of sound' i instantly fell in love

[@xanderbriggs2794]

When you were describing the resonance in the bottle is seems a lot like light, where you shine whight light on an object and only the frequencies of light that match the object are reflected.

[@libertypastor1307]

Enjoyed this very much! Watching the flames while the music played, made me wonder how it would respond to a voice speaking; which brought to my memory this passage of scripture that all of a sudden makes more sense! _Psalm 29:7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire._ I always loved watching the flames of a campfire dance, and split, and disappear. But invariably, they always remind me of hell. So now, this ominous thought comes, how that the Bible teaches that Jesus' soul went to hell after He died, but was not left there (see proof verses below), because He is infinite, and He could pay what we all owe (an eternity in hell) for our sins. But God will never force anyone to believe in Him, so He leaves with us the choice to believe His Word or not. If we do, He forgives our sins; if we don't, we must pay for them ourselves, and being finite creatures, will never finish paying. So, now I'm wondering that if His voice divideth the flames of fire, what will be the message (resonance) to those who reject Him as their Saviour while they suffer the torments of hell for rejecting the fact that He already suffered for them. Maybe their torment will be His voice saying, "I've already been here, out of love for you; but you refused to believe, so now you must resonate my torment and crying for all eternity!" Now that is terrifying! Thanks for the lesson you didn't know you were giving. God is all and in all - even in your video. Proof verses that Jesus soul suffered hell *for* us: _Psalm __16:10__ For _*_thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;_*_ neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption._ New Testament quote of Psalms 16: _Acts __2:27__,29-30 Because _*_thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,_*_ neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption._ _29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day._ _30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;_ _31 _*_He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell,_*_ neither his flesh did see corruption._ _Isaiah 53:5,10,11 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed._ _10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when _*_thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,_*_ he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand._ _11 _*_He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied:_*_ by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities._

What knowledge we have got in school by the experiments on resonance, this bugger would make us to forget them totally.

[@evelynesimon5758]

Is it because I am like a Rubens tube that binaurals make different part of me body feel weird?

[@meadish]

Tough to answer this simply, I think. The human body is a lot less regular in composition than a Reubens tube, and how we experience a particular stimulus is not exactly the same each time we experience it, in other words, our baseline emotional state, level of alertness, concentration, the thoughts that arrive and how we respond to them etc. all play into what kind of emotion we experience. And if we watch that emotion closely we will notice that the emotion itself is not static from moment to moment, either. It seems to me from my own observation that by simply placing strong consistent attention on a particular part of the body, we somehow alter that location to a certain degree. I don't know what actually happens materially, but I would speculate that the nerves and sensory cells around that area probably become more active?

[@farkletwat24642]

I think a good way to demonstrate residence is with a bell. Obviously if you ring a bell it produces a note but if you supply the Bell with the same frequency that it produces when struck, it will ring

[@seanm7445]

A better description of Fourier Analysis?

[@0MVR_0]

Yes please.

[@mvdmusicvideostorefreshthe3224]

Hi Steve, I work in engineering, I'm not a designer of structures, but I have studied to a higher level and have an interest in how things affect structures. A problem with the Millenium Bridge was due to resonance I believe (I could be wrong and usually are))) this was where it started to sway because of the energy put in from the people walking in time on it matched the 'Natural Frequency' of the bridge. Yours is the second video where you have described what I thought was called Natural frequency, as you put it, it is the frequency that the object likes to vibrate at, but you call it 'Resonant Frequency.' I watched a lecture on earthquakes and it was excellent, it showed how buildings fall down, each building has it's own 'Natural Frequency' and if there's an earthquake and the vibrations of the quake 'match' the 'Natural Frequency' of the building, then you get a 'Resonant Frequency' that is my understanding, but it seems I might be wrong.

[@StalemateNZ]

why doesn't resonance become infinitely loud?

[@Tombsar]

Stalemate Because as the amplitude increases, more energy is lost to damping.

[@PeterAuto1]

one single impulse loses some percentage p of energy if traveled some distance d. If it's travels twice the distance d we lose p*p percent of Energy. Now if we add infinitely many of these impulses you get an geometrical series the converges
