Additional Readings:
In class we talked about the speed of sound. While we won't be doing much
acoustics in this class, it's a fun topic. Check out the article
here
to see how gradients in the speed of sound (and the resulting refraction of sound waves)
have affected history!
Demonstration:
In class today we demonstrated standing waves and resonance using the
"Singing Water Bowl". An interesting description of the bowl (and one I used
to figure out how to make it go...) is found
here. A somewhat
more scholarly examination of the bowl can be obtained by the Google Scholar
search here
, where the paper (second link when I did it, anyway) can be accessed using the
"FindText @ Notre Dame" link. You have to do this from a computer accessing
the web through ND, though, but it's a great way to get at scholarly articles.
