Normal glass does not resonate and make a tone when tapping or rubbing with a moistened finger.

Leaded glass & crystal will resonate and give a tone or ring when tapped.

How can I make a wine glass sing?

To make a wine glass sing, wet your finger and gently rub it around the rim of the glass. This creates friction and causes the glass to vibrate, producing a singing sound. Adjust the pressure and speed of your finger to change the pitch of the sound.

Why does a glass filled with water shatter when you run your finger along the rim of the glass?

A piece of crystal stemware has a natural or resonant frequency that can be excited by rubbing a moistened finger along its rim. Filling the glass with water merely changes the pitch of the tone. The tone you hear is created when the crystal vibrates at frequencies in the audible range for humans. Although it's difficult to see, the glass actually flexes during the vibrations. If the glass deforms sufficiently, it can break, since crystal is brittle and not very elastic. It is not likely that a flawless glass could be made to break merely by rubbing its rim. The MythBusters demonstrated the resonance of a crystal glass and shattered several by exciting the glasses with a human voice. One professional singer broke a glass without the use of amplification. See the video.


What frequency does a wine glass break?

The answer is "it's own resonant frequency".. this frequency is dependent on how the glass is made. You can hear this frequency when you rim the glass with a wet finger or smack it with a pen. If you want to break it, place the glass next to a nice speaker, generate a sine-wave tone matching the resonant frequency, and turn it up to 11.


Will silvertone jewelry turn your finger green?

Yes. Silver tone jewelry will turn your finger green because the metal under the silver tone is probably a brass which contains copper. It is the copper that turns your finger green.


What is happening when you rub your finger around a glass rim?

Running a finger around the rim of a glass will "stimulate" the glass. We are adding energy to the glass, and because the finger tends to "slip and grab" as it moves around the rim, the energy is delivered in "pulses" to the glass. This tends to make the glass vibrate, and we are adding to the vibrational energy by continuously running our finger around the rim of the glass. The net result is that the glass will "sing" to us in a given pitch. Some glasses lend themselves better to this experiment than others, and most stemware works quite well, even "cheaper" types. When doing an experiment, moistening the finger will help things. This is a good project to investigate some things in basic physics, though the principles at work may be a bit less than clear. The glass, like other objects, has a natural resonance, and we "tap into" that by mechanically stimulating the glass at the rim with our finger. When we find the glass beginning to vibrate, we can move our finger a bit faster or slower to add energy "in sync" with the vibrations, thus sustaining and increasing them.
