Figure shows two isospectral drums (16). Although geometrically distinct, these drums have the same resonant frequencies. The standing waves corresponding to the eigenvalue Inline graphic are shown for both drums. It is clear that this mode will be excited with different amplitudes, depending on where we hit the drum. Extremes are nodes and anti-nodes.
