Quick Answer: The Resonance Strips Model is a physics demonstration apparatus with strips of different lengths, showing that the strip whose natural frequency matches the applied vibration vibrates most strongly.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Strips of different lengths mounted on a support arrangement.
Shows maximum vibration when the applied frequency matches a strip's natural frequency.
Lets students compare how different strips respond to the same vibration source.
Supports teaching of forced oscillation, amplitude and energy transfer.
About This Product
With the strips fitted and free to vibrate, a periodic vibration is applied using the method recommended for the supplied model. Students watch which strip vibrates with the greatest amplitude and learn that it is responding near its natural frequency. Repeating the demonstration and recording strip length against vibration strength shows that different objects have different natural frequencies. The Resonance Strips Model is available for supply within India and for export to Lesotho, Colombia, Estonia, Sri Lanka, Argentina and Zambia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why does one strip vibrate more than the others? Its natural frequency matches the applied frequency, so it vibrates with greater amplitude than the rest. This is resonance.
