Standing Waves on Chladni Plates

Examples of Two Dimensional Nodal Patterns on a Square Chladni Plate	Examples of exquisite nodal patterns on a square Chladni plate at resonant frequencies between 932 Hz and 1459 Hz are displayed.
Dancing Sand Grains on a Square Chladni Plate	At a frequency of 330 Hz a nodal pattern develops.
Nodal Patterns at 384 Hz and 389 Hz	Nodal patterns appear at 384 Hz and 389 Hz.
Unique Nodal Patterns at Resonant Frequencies - Square Plate	The development of nodal patterns on a square Chladni plate at resonant frequencies is shown. The wave driver is set at a resonant frequency and sand is scattered on the Chladni plate forming a resonance pattern characteristic of that frequency.
Frequency Sweep - Round Chladni Plate	Examples of unique nodal patterns on a round Chladni plate at resonant frequencies between 289 Hz and 994 Hz are shown.
Specific Frequencies - Round Plate	Unique nodal patterns at several resonant frequencies for a round plate are shown.

In these movies we demonstrate two dimensional standing waves on Chladni plates.
