Sound emitted at a certain frequency can shatter glass objects due to resonance effect.
Why can sound break glass? Understandably, using a hammer? No, it’s due to resonance.
Sound that can shatter glass is due to resonance.
Each object when impacted will vibrate at its natural frequency. If we make a sound with a frequency equal to the natural vibration frequency of an object, it will vibrate. This phenomenon is called resonance .
Each type of glass is made up of different materials. However, they all have a natural resonant frequency. Therefore, when we make a sound that matches their resonant frequency, the glass will start to oscillate.
Glass is a fragile material, the louder the sound, the stronger it vibrates, and to a certain extent, the glass will break into many pieces.
