- This demonstration has been used to explain how sound can
be used to break a wine glass, or to help illustrate principles behind the
Bohr model of the hydrogen atom. - There are two configurations of loops from which to choose:
parallel to the floor or perpendicular to the floor. - When changing accessories to the oscillator be careful to
lock the piston (as the oscillator is quite delicate).
Location
- Mechanical oscillator, wire loop, and
function generator located in L02, section C2, in “Chladni plates”
