Chladni Plate Experiment Kit With Plate and Vibration Generator

Make studying sound and waves more entertaining and hands-on with a Chladni Plate Experiment Kit With Plate and Vibration Generator. This set is ideal for visualising and observing how sound waves and vibrations travel at varying frequencies, using the patterns they create on the plate as a guide. With this experiment kit you can either choose a square or circle Chladni plate, each of which will show differing patterns.

What's Included?

• 1 x Chladni Plate (Circle OR Square)
• 1 x Vibration Generator
• 1 x Mounting Pin With 4mm Socket

Please Note: In order to conduct experiments with this kit, you must also have a function generator (sold separately), and experiment leads (also sold separately).

What Is a Chladni Plate?

A Chladni plate is an experimental tool that can be covered in a fine, dry powder such as sand, and connected to generators in order to offer a visual demonstration of how sound travels.

What Is a Vibration Generator?

A vibration generator is a tool used for generating the mechanical waves that enable the study of oscillations and resonance in sound when using a Chladni plate experiment kit.

What Is the Function Of This Experimental Kit?

Chladni plates are designed to demonstrate how sound vibrations travel at different frequencies. The plate itself is covered with a substance such as fine sand, and connected to a function generator and vibration generator. When used together, these generators create oscillating sound waves at varying frequencies. These sound waves move and create shapes with the substance on the Chladni plate, offering a visual demonstration of how sound travels. This makes it highly suitable for use in science and music classes.

How Do I Use The Chladni Plate?

Before beginning with this experimental set, you must ensure you also have a function generator and experiment leads (both sold separately). Once you have the required equipment, and are ready to start your experiment, follow the below instructions:

1. Attach the Chladni plate to the vibration generator via the connector plug
2. Once these are securely attached, connect the function generator using the experiment leads
3. Add a fine and powdery substance to the top surface of your chosen Chladni plate
4. Modify the frequency to your desired level using the function generator
5. Observe the formation of various patterns on the Chladni plate via sound-vibrations
