Can a singer break a glass with their voice?

Answer 1

Yep I saw it on mythbusters check it out :http://www.tv.com/mythbusters/breaking-glass/episode/418686/reviews.html?review_id=27780

Answer 2

Yes, this is indeed possible. Every substance has a natural frequency, and when a wave of that identical frequency comes into contact with it, it will cause the particles of that substance to vibrate. As the wave is amplified, the particles will vibrate more, eventually to the point of causing some sort of reaction! Singers with the right pitch can shatter glass in this way, but this is also how microwaves work. Microwaves emit waves with the same natural frequency as water, which causes the physical reactions required to pop the small amount of water in a kernel of popcorn, for instance.

Answer 3

Yes. The singer must sing a note of the same frequency of the vibration of the glass. The glass will then vibrate in "sympathy" with the tone sung by the singer. If the vibration is vigorous (loud) enough the glass can shatter.

Answer 4

Resonance is the tendency of a gadget to oscillate at optimum amplitude at a definite frequency. This frequency is prevalent as a results of fact the gadget's resonance frequency. while damping is small, the resonance frequency is approximately equivalent to the organic frequency of the gadget, that's the frequency of unfastened vibrations. A resonant merchandise, whether mechanical, acoustic, or electric powered, will probable have extra advantageous than one resonance frequency (extraordinarily harmonics of the main efficient resonance). it is going to likely be uncomplicated to vibrate at those frequencies, and extra problematic to vibrate at different frequencies. it is going to "p.c.. out" its resonance frequency from a complicated excitation, including an impulse or a wideband noise excitation. In effect, that's filtering out all frequencies different than its resonance. So each and each time the singer is able to sing in a frequency which suits with the resonant frequency of the glass, the glass vibrates with optimum amplitude achievable. provided that glass isn't an fairly elastic substance it breaks. There are situations interior the previous the place even bridges collasped as a results of resonance. while infantrymen bypass a bridge they are informed to no longer walk in rythem / tandem.

Answer 5

I believe the note is High C above middle c

Answer 6

Yes, however it has to be amplified. This was put to the test on Myth Busters program on Discovery Channel.

Answer 7

My mom always break our kitchen ware all the time when she yell at me :)

Answer 8

ya if the pitch is high enough

have a great day

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

Yes,I saw it on"Mythbusters".
