Chladni figures , także: Chladni patterns

The patterns formed by these lines are what are now called Chladni figures.

The physical phenomena involved in the formation of Chladni figures are best explained by classical physics.

The experimental procedure is similar to that used to form Chladni figures of sand on a vibrating plate.

These nodal line patterns are called Chladni figures.

These can be made visible by sprinkling sand on the surface, and the intricate patterns of lines resulting are called Chladni figures.

These patterns are now known as 'Chladni Figures.' Chladni demonstrated this seemingly magical phenomenon all over Europe and even had an audience with Napoleon.

Hans Jenny's book on Chladni figures influenced Alvin Lucier and helped lead to Lucier's composition Queen of the South.

She has produced a series of Chladni figures and, in a setup borrowed from the physics demonstrations of C. V. Boys, photographed water droplets in a standing wave.

The figures thus obtained (with the aid of a violin bow that rubbed perpendicularly along the edge of smooth plates covered with fine sand) are still designated by the name of "Chladni figures".

Her 1985 work Chladni Figures was produced by sprinkling carborundum powder directly onto photographic emulsion where it was exposed to sound waves at different frequencies (see Ernst Chladni), creating ghostly black and white images of natural order and chaos.
