Visible Sound Waves

Acoustics

★Exhibit Content: Sound Waves ★Interaction: Mechanical Interaction ★Operation: When visitors participate in the interaction, they pluck the three guitar strings and observe the vibration of the strings, which appears no different from usual. When participants rotate the drum and then pluck the strings, they will see undulating "sound wave" patterns appear on the drum. ★Exhibit Description: The exhibit consists of an inverted guitar, a control pedal, a background light drum, and a stand. Participants rotate the background light drum while plucking the guitar strings. As the drum's rotation speed changes, participants see the horizontal vibration of the strings through the white stripes on the drum, thus "seeing" sound. Participants can also press the pedal to control the tension of the strings and observe the frequency of the sound waves. ★Scientific Principle: The white bands on the black cylinder, when rotating, act like a flashing light (due to their distribution on the circular surface, they do not flash at a uniform speed). Under the effect of persistence of vision, the vibrating string is "frozen" in local segments and forms new states on the retina, appearing as ripples.
