* - Ernst Chladni (1781)- Chladni Figures- http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/but-seriously/chladni-figures-amazing-resonance-experiment/
- "Modern versions of the demonstration tend to use modern equipment
such as loudspeakers and signal generators with adjustable frequency. In
the video, as the frequency is altered we are able to see how the
patterns in the plate assume various intricate shapes. The sand is
pushed away from the areas of vibration and gathers in the places where
the surface remains motionless (the nodal lines).
The beautiful patterns that emerge are now called Chladni
figures, although Chladni was actually building on earlier experiments
performed by Robert Hooke, who, in 1680, observed these nodal patterns
in vibrating glass plates."
