Breaking Glass with Sound

  • Rubbing the rim of a wine glass with a wet finger will cause it to resonate at its resonant frequency. The glass is placed in front of a speaker playing a sine wave, created by the function generator, of this same frequency. When the amplitude is turned up, we can see by shining a strobe light at the glass that this resonant frequency causes it to oscillate. When the glass becomes too stressed, it will shatter.

    I knew when you detected that 440mhz "A note" from rubbing the glass that that is all you had to do is repeat it with more decibels because that is its sympathetic frequency to get it oscillating. Well Done!!!

    LOL at the technician giving a comedy skit vibe to an otherwise serious science video 😂 The way he pops up after the parts have been identified, and his cringing in anticipation. And there’s a bit of an outtake at the end that will probably leave some people wondering how the glass reassembled itself 😄

    Hi. Does the glass 🍷 break at its fundamental frequency or which
    Harmonic? Do the results vary when experiment repeated. Thank-you

    • @makctelephones6213
      @makctelephones6213 3 роки тому +2

      I think The harmonics are produced by clipping because sound was too loud(so the harmonics you hear in video is not present in irl when recorded)
      when fundamental sound is matched with resonant frenquencies of a material and had enough loudness itll cause material to vibrate and break

    You changed the frequency after you changed the amplitude! What you should have done is get the resonant frequency as accurately as you could beforehand, then increase amplitude. I want to know how low of an amplitude would work, and this doesn't get answered in the way you did it.

Read more about mechanical resonance you will understand. So energy can not add it self there must be a source, and here a source is sound i.e volume

      @@brunoh_bx Bhai sound energy add nhi hota hai kya resonance k state me? Tum khud padhe ho. Resonance ka use hi isliye kiya jata hai taki har ek oscillation me jo energy aata hai wo add hota jae. Absorbing body ka amplitude badhne lagta hai chahe source ka amplitude fix aur kam hi qn na ho. Aise ek time aata hai ki body excessive energy absorb krne k wajah se break hojata hai. Agar sidha sound k hi amplitude se glass todna ho to bo*mb hi fodna padega chota sa. So it's not just the energy in each cycle but total accumulated energy over a period of time. That's what resonance is. And this is not limited to mechanical waves, any sort of wave can exhibit resonance e.g. em wave resonance. Radio equipments work on that em wave resonance principle. Waha konsa force hota hai? Hum radio tunning krte hai alag alag channel listen krne k liye usme v actually hum frequency ko match karate hain incoming radio wave se taki resonance ho sakte. Topic is large.
