Chladni Plates

 

Chlandi Plates Demo Picture

  • Determine resonant frequencies of square and circular plates,
    and circular hoop. Examine modes of vibration at any frequency. Sand collects
    along the nodal lines of wave patterns, revealing clear and beautiful pictures
    of various modes of vibration. This one is a crowd pleaser.
  • Located in L02, section C2.
