THE effect of Mr. Melde's pretty experiments with the vibrating stretched thread attached to one of the prongs of a tuning-fork is often spoiled to the spectators by the unfavourable plane of ...

A string is driven by a function generator that is attached to an oscillator. By adjusting the frequency of the oscillation, the string can be used to demonstrate standing waves. A strobe light is ...

Researchers from TU Delft and Brown University have engineered string-like resonators capable of vibrating longer at ambient temperature than any previously known solid-state object — approaching what ...

Watch this video to find out how vibrations and sounds are related. Sound is actually a vibration. A vibration is when an object moves backwards and forwards very, very quickly – like this guitar ...
