Standing waves in introductory college physics courses are commonly introduced in the transverse case where visualization is easier. Longitudinal standing waves, such as resonating air columns, are then treated as an extension. Using this approach, student understanding of longitudinal standing waves frequently amounts to pattern-matching with little conceptual understanding of the underlying physical processes. It also contributes to poor interpretations of the typical representations used to describe longitudinal standing waves. In this talk I will present a new research-based tutorial designed to teach the basics of longitudinal standing waves in the context of sound. The tutorial involves using a hands-on demonstration to give explicit meaning to nodes and antinodes in the longitudinal context, using pipes and tuning forks to create standing waves and advance understanding of particle motion and pressure within the pipe, and investigating the meaning of the representations of longitudinal standing waves commonly used in textbooks.
