Sound wave Demo


 * 1) What do you see?

If there was a bunch of paper clips already on top of the big drum, and one decided to drop a single paper clip in the center, all of the other paper clips already present did a slight jump.


 * 1) What do you hear?

The paper clips vibrating together in harmony with the vibrations of the drum created a noise that was slightly distorted but still comprehendible. The contact between whatever object is hitting the drum creates a vibration of waves within the drum.
 * 1) What is the source of the vibration?
 * 1) What type of medium is the wave traveling through?

Since the waves on the drum happen to be mechanical waves, the medium they must travel through is the substance of which the drum is made of.
 * 1) In what direction does the wave appear to travel?

In this instance, it seems that the wave begins at the epicenter of contact, and the expands outward in a circular manner. However, once it reaches the edge of the drum, it bounces back towards the center, creating the larger noise.
 * 1) What happens to the medium as the wave travels? (i.e., paper clips bounce, fingers vibrate when touching skin near vocal chords, etc.)

As the wave travels, several different things occur. First and foremost, it creates a vibration within the medium. This vibration reacts in different ways with whatever surfaces it comes into contact with. If it hits paper clips, they vibrate, if fingers are touching the medium, the vibration will climb up on your skin. If this was with a vocal cord the vibration causes noises to exhort the body.
