This video explains and demonstrates how wave interference produces standing waves in a sound medium (e.g. tube or pipe) and on a string, including the harmonics and wavelengths, simulation (gif), and how they behave given different boundary conditions. The main reason that standing waves occur is due to resonance (when the input vibration into the system matches the resonant frequency). Standing waves affect sound by increasing the amplitude or loudness. The underlying principle of beats is also covered including how the beat formula is derived.
