metal plate whose surface was sprinkled with sand particles. These sand

particles rearrange themselves as the metal plate vibrates in sections in

opposite directions separated by “nodal lines” where the surface is

motionless and hence sand particles accumulate along these lines forming

the so-called Chladni patterns or figures (see Figure 4.13). It is known

that the higher the frequency and larger the amplitude of the input vibra-

tions, the more complex the Chladni patterns become [510].

4.13 Water as the Molecular Sensor of Sound Waves

Water was used as a sound detector by cymatists (researchers of vibrations)

such as Jenny [485] and Reid [493]. Water may be one of the most sensitive

detectors of sound waves in nature as demonstrated by CymaScope [493].
