Singing plates - Standing Waves on Chladni plates

Use physics to create cool patterns on a vibrating plate. How is this like a guitar string or a singing wine glass?

Thanks to Donovan for his assistance filming!

Fun fact : vibration nodes are also important in Sword making. The node is in the handle so you don't loose grip when the blade vibrates after a strike

3:04 For some reason I expected her to say: "But that would be crazy! ... Or would it?" Damn you Vsauce! xP

[Nerdthagoras]

This does a lot more explaining on the subject than a number of other videos which focus on the "Cool" effect.  She's right in saying that the physics is the coolest part.

[GerryPothier]

Haha, "stay tuned"
So funny it Hertz!

i like this channel she doesn't with hold the answer like Veritasium.

When she made the transition from the slinky standing wave to the plate, I immediately began thinking about 3 dimensional standing waves and how they could allow an object to levitate.  Then she moved on to that and I remembered that I will never have an original idea.

fantastic. totally love the whiff of personality you put into this, besides having learnt something I also feel this video has great entertainment value, lots of character. Keep it up, physics girl!

[kittyrodriguez]

With school now online, I've been using your videos as a supplement and you explain things in a way that is so easy and understandable. Thanks so much!

[ohheycrystalhey]

Oh yo i actually understand this now! Thank you so much!

[JanelleShane]

This is great! I appreciate how you go farther into technical detail and current research than your average YouTube science video, yet keep it fun and accessible.

[AlanKey]

A very nice video! I shall show this to my A-level students!

[malabikaroy]

Thanks for practical wave. Our teacher told us to imagine this but I was not able to imagine. Thanks again for clearing my concepts👏

[MrBeanbones]

Note: if you use two frequency generators with different frequencies in the same plate the standing wave will move, so we will see moving figures.

[TheGentlemanPhysicis]

I really liked this one, particularly the simulation of left and right moving waves making a standing wave in the rope.

[bachmaij]

That's awesome! Levitating with sound!

[StevenVeldt]

In support of Diana, whenever a video from her catalog is impression to me I'm watching it through and adding comments. Hope you're feeling better soon and I hope others are watching more of your back catalog in support.

[PeterNickson]

best video on standing waves in YouTube. Will be using for my class. thanks

[robertgraham]

they actually did this experiment with fire and music on veritasium, awesome

[abnormalaf]

She inadvertently made a video, which I think, explained standing waves better than any other videos or lectures I have seen so far! ❤️❤️

[TimeFunAgain]

Thank you so much. You are an inspiration for a generation of girls. You may not know this, but you are speaking directly to my 13-year-old daughter who, like you, is beautiful, theatrical, creative, and—oh yeah, smart! Thank you for making science and intelligence super-cool.
