Well, what is your opinion?

Mal87 · Answer

Constructive interference I think

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Hm. What makes you think that?

Mal87 · Answer

Because it vibrates so I think of that as a interference.

Eiwoh2 · Answer

Yes, that's simple vibration, but this is vibrating at the same pitch, so my opinion is that it is most likely resonance.

Mal87 · Answer

Okay I will try that. Thank you for helping me.
