What does tuning in a radio station have to do with resonance?
To explain: The connection between tuning in a radio station with resonance.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The sound is a type of vibration energy when the particles of material vibrates then the sound produce. And the sound travels in a medium in which the compression and rarefactions occur.
Sound travels in all the three states of matter. When the particles of object are disturbed then due to vibration of object particles the sound is produced of different frequencies. The combination of different frequency produces the special sound. Every material has different frequency of vibration which produces a special sound known as natural frequency.
When the forced is applied to object so that it will vibrate at its natural frequency which is said to be resonance.
The tuning of radio adjusts the natural frequency of radio electronics and matches to the incoming signal frequency. So the particular station plays at a time when the electronics natural frequency match with particular station frequency.
Conclusion:
Thus, the tuning in a radio station is same as resonance phenomena.
