Resonance (Orange: 10/6 Black: 10/7)

I checked the homework, but you will need to correct it by checking here.  I discussed the Standing Wave lab and collected it.  I also discussed the Wave Tank lab (either the NVIDIA or PhET versions), with the most important concept from the lab being diffraction.  The first 2 minutes of this clip provides a great explanation of diffraction.  After that we took the Post-Test for NVIDIA to review the results.  Most of the period was spent discussing resonance, and I showed a number of examples, including the Mythbusters resonance episode, and this one of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse.
