Science and Art : Frequency & Geometrical shapes

Post 12

 If you want to find the secret of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, vibration.

Chladni-plate-Experiment is one of the best examples for indicating the relationship between frequency and geometrical design changes. Ernst Chladni is a German physicist and the musician. He found this experiment method in 1820.

This experiment can be done with some fine sand particles, tone generator and a metal plate. 

The tone generator is connected to the metal plate, and the sand powder is sprayed on the metal plate. When we change the frequency, the shape of the sprayed sand will change. The reason behind this scenario is that when the frequency increased, the vibrating speed of the metal also increased. So, the fine sand particles are moving to a vibration-less region. When the sand moves to a vibration-less region, the geometrical design changes.

 Here are some experiment images ,
