SIZE: 15.25” Diameter x 4.5” Tall
INTERESTING: This Frey Scientific Resonance Bowl, is an educational tool used to demonstrate the principles of wave behavior and resonance. To effectively use the bowl, follow these steps:
Preparation:
Place the bowl on a firm, stable surface that allows it to vibrate freely. A damp, folded towel or non-slip mat can serve as a suitable base.
Fill the bowl approximately halfway with clean water.
Thoroughly wash your hands to remove any oils or lotions, as these can hinder the necessary friction. Similarly, clean the bowl's handles with isopropyl alcohol to ensure they are free from residues.
Generating Vibrations:
Slightly moisten your palms by dipping them into the water.
Firmly grasp the bowl's handles with both hands.
Rub the handles using long, steady strokes that engage your entire hand, from fingertips to palm heel.
Adjust the pressure and speed of your rubbing to find the optimal motion that induces vibrations in the bowl. A lighter touch often yields better results.
Observing Wave Behavior:
As you continue rubbing, vibrations will travel through the bowl, causing ripples to form on the water's surface.
With consistent motion, these ripples can amplify, leading to water droplets shooting upwards, creating fountain-like jets.
With practice, it's possible to achieve water sprays reaching heights of up to 50 cm (approximately 20 inches).
This phenomenon occurs due to the creation of standing waves within the bowl. As you rub the handles, vibrations generate transverse mechanical waves that travel along the bowl's metal rim. When these waves interact constructively, they form standing waves, resulting in visible patterns and water jets at specific points around the rim.
