  • That is a nice party trick. haha

  • Sounds of other frequencies do bend the glass but the natural frequency of the glass is the frequency where the material's vibrational energy will grow to the highest magnitude sometimes enough to break the glass depending on the damping factor. If the damping factor is too high, energy is lost through air friction thus not allowing the energy to get large enough to break it.

  • very cool vid

  • thnxx

  • Sound waves are shown to 'push' the glass at the point where the 'hit' it.

    But why are soundwaves of other frequencies unable to produce the same effect (of hitting and pushing) ?

  • @Earaem Picture pushing a friend on a swing. In order to push your friend higher, you want to push him while he's moving away from you. If you push him while he's coming at you, you're just going to stop him. The most efficient time to push is at the exact moment that he is comes to a stop before moving in the opposite direction. If you're off a bit, you can force your way through it, but in the case of sound and the resonant frequency of a wine glass, the force is very very small

  • @thekiyote That's a so to the point explanation! I understand the analogy completely! Thanks a lot ^^

  • 00:48 cartoon sound lol

  • thats science!!! its beautiful

  • sound can do more than destroy matter, it can also create matter. Resonance is amazing and can and does take place between humans, and humans and objects...

  • Awesome in slowmo

  • tht so fucking sick

  • btw sound waves can also DESTROY BRIDGES... this is called resonance, type in'bridge resonance', also soldiers break step when they march across bridges because if they march in step, the resonance can cause the bridge to collapse

  • @EscapeDummy lol, that's not actually realistically going to happen

  • @TheKingdomofErnor ...I was responding to a guy who said you can't break glass with sound, not saying its likely to happen.

  • @EscapeDummy Oh. Your comment wasn't technically in response to anything, so I didn't know.

  • @TheKingdomofErnor for sure. I used to not use the reply button, which is stupid and caused confusion haha.

  • dude, yes sound waves can break glass... i thought everyone knew that

  • @EscapeDummy He was talking about glasses *bending* not breaking! Not everyone knows about the bending motion of the *rim*..

    VERY nice video !

  • u better believe it cuz its true!
