Physics 2000: Resonance
written by the Physics 2000 and Martin Goldman
This site from Physics 2000 contains an interactive simulation of waves bouncing back and forth in a box.  The user controls the wavelength, and the simulation shows the superposition of all the waves in the box. When the waves resonate, the large amplitude of the superposition is unmistakable, and the relationship between the wavelength of the waves and the size of the box is clear.
