Jeri shows how to make a sound to light wand that can be used to visualize standing waves. The electret microphone and lamp are attached to a LM386 audio amplifier. This is recovered footage from 2008. Sorry the quality is low.

  • I think you will need to feed a generated sine wave instead of music to speakers so that wave pattern does not change while scanning.

  • @630MillionGods. It was a sine wave. You would not capture standing waves with music.

    They use a neon bulb and the device takes ten minutes to do a scan.

  • @avsci Sorry I didn't mention that it was a simple audio amplifier LM386 chip.
