Sound Visualizer & Chladni Patterns Formed on a Plastic Bucket // Homemade Science with Bruce Yeany

The Sound Visualizer and the Chladni Bucket are used to show how vibrations from sound waves are able to create some very beautiful patterns using a few simple pieces of equipment. As compression waves from sound hit a surface it may cause standing waves to form. In the first case, a mirror attached to the surface has a laser aimed at it, the reflected beam is then aimed at a wall and a pattern will form due to the way the surface deforms due to the standing wave. Changing the pitch will cause the
