Code Number: 3D40.50
Demo Title: Musical Goblets or Bowl
Condition: Excellent
Principle: Resonance in Pipes
Area of Study: Oscillations & Acoustics
Equipment:
Violin Bow, Wine Goblet, and Vinegar.
Procedure:
NOTE: The wine glasses for this demonstration will be in the 1D50.33 - Carry a Ball section.
Practice with the bow will be needed for the wine goblet resonance. Wet a finger with vinegar and rub around the rim of the goblet.
Hold the bowl in your palm supported by three fingers, or set it on the table supported by the attached rubber feet. Rub the wooden rod slowly around the rim of the bowl until the bowl sings.
