In physics the term harmonics is usually used. Note that the lowest-frequency mode also counts as a harmonic: it is simply the first one.
A transmitter antenna is a tuned circuit and it can be very complex and it even get more difficult at higher frequencies, if it's not a 1/4 wave length of the transmitter frequency it is un tuned and you will have some of your RF power radiated back to the transmitter, that is called SWR, for Standing Wave Ratio and it will damp the RF that is radiated from the antenna and if the SWR is to high it can damage the transmitters final stage. It don't have to be the real physical 1/4 or 1/2 wave and it can even be 5/8 of the wavelength but then a L/C circuit have to be inserted at the input side of the antenna to tune the antenna to the correct frequency one antenna can even be used for two different frequencies, then a L/C tuning circuit have to inserted at a 1/4 wave length of the higher frequency , this type of antenna is used in duplex systems, like a cell phone.
The 3 dB point belongs to the cutoff frequency or the corner frequency. There the 100 % voltage is then down to 70,7 % and the power is down to 50% at the same time.
Every thing is vibrating in it's normal standing that named natural vibration. and this vibratin has a frequnce whitch named natural frequencc. if you force a shaft or a rigid matterial with some harmonic force that is affecting in frequence of natural frequency of that matterial there will be resonance. So the shaft or ... deforms as a resault of resonance.
If the vswr (Voltage Standing Wave Ration) is high than call drop chance increase.

wavelength. The larger the frequency, the smaller the wavelength.
A standing wave can tell you about the resonant frequencies of a system. It is formed when a wave reflects back on itself and interferes constructively or destructively. The nodes and antinodes of a standing wave provide information about the wavelength and frequency of the wave.
Resonance typically involves mechanical waves such as sound waves or vibrations. These waves interact with the natural frequencies of objects, causing them to vibrate and resonate when the frequencies match or are close to each other.
Standing waves are created by the interference of two waves with the same frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions. In sound waves, this phenomenon occurs when waves reflect back and forth between two fixed points, leading to constructive and destructive interference patterns that result in distinct nodes and antinodes. Standing waves have specific modes of vibration, with integer multiples of the fundamental frequency corresponding to different resonant frequencies.
Changing the driving frequency of a standing wave can lead to resonance, where the wave's amplitude increases significantly. This can result in more energy being transferred to the system, causing it to vibrate more strongly. On the other hand, changing the frequency away from a resonant frequency can decrease the wave's amplitude and energy transfer.
When a transverse electromagnetic wave encounters a cavity, it can excite resonant modes within the cavity. These modes are determined by the dimensions of the cavity and can produce standing waves with distinct frequencies. This can lead to the selective transmission or absorption of certain frequencies of the electromagnetic wave within the cavity.
In a resonating pipe that is open at one end and closed at the other, standing waves are formed due to the combination of incident and reflected waves. This creates specific resonant frequencies at which the pipe vibrates strongly. The fundamental frequency for this type of pipe is when the wavelength is four times the length of the pipe.
The sounds of all wind instruments are made by standing waves along some cavity- in this case the body of the clarinet. The body has some resonant frequency which will correspond to the frequency of the sound created. By changing the characteristics of the cavity (Opening valves and so on) this frequency can be changed, and a bunch of different notes can be played.
The formation of a standing wave requires the interference of a wave traveling in one direction and its reflection. This results in certain points along the medium where the wave's amplitude is always zero (nodes) or maximum (antinodes), creating a stationary pattern. Factors influencing the formation of standing waves include the medium's properties, the frequency and wavelength of the wave, and the boundary conditions of the system.
Resonance in pipes is important because it determines the pitch and tone of the sound produced. When a pipe is the right length, sound waves bounce back and forth inside it, creating a standing wave that amplifies certain frequencies. This amplification results in a clear and distinct sound that is characteristic of the pipe's size and shape. Changing the length of the pipe can alter the resonant frequency and therefore the pitch of the sound produced.
A standing wave can occur only at specific frequencies that are called natural frequencies.
