waves, resonance
Purpose
To demonstrate that two glasses tuned to the same tone will vibrate together even though only one is played.
Apparatus
Two or more glass goblets, water, toothpick or match stick
Setup
- Two glasses are filled with the same amount of water.
- Place the glasses side by side so that at the closest point they are approximately 1cm apart (a little less is even better as long as they do not touch).
- The match stick is balanced along the rim of one of the glasses.
- Wet a fingertip and rub it around the edge of the other glass to create a tone.
