How could you find the sound frequency to break a glass?

High frequency sound waves can shatter glass if powerful enough. This happens because the glass vibrates at the same frequency as the sound waves on the outer surface of the glass, but at lower frequencies inside the glass. This causes interference in the waveforms moving through the glass, which stress the glass, causing it to break. This is a different effect than when a single sharp sound, such as an explosion, pushes the glass beyond its breaking point.


What is the melting point of glass rod?

The melting point of glass rods can vary depending on the composition of the glass. However, most common types of glass rods have a melting point between 1300°C and 1500°C (2372°F to 2732°F).


Why urea has sharp melting point but glass does not?

Urea is a pure crystalline compound so has a sharp melting point while glass is an amorphous mixture.


What is the melting point of copper diamond and glass?

The melting point of copper is 1084,62 0C. Diamond burn on heating in air; under pressure of a inert gas the melting point may be approx. 4 000 0C. This depends on the type of glass; also glass hasn't a true melting point. Glasses are melted over 400 0C.


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

Running your finger along the rim of the glass produces a vibration at the glass's natural frequency, causing it to resonate. The resonance builds up energy within the glass, eventually reaching a point where the glass can no longer contain the energy and shatters.

Is it only spark plug ceramic that breaks windows or can any ceramic be used?

Any ceramic can be used to break windows, basically any hard substance formed into a small point will break a window as it is focusing all the impact force to a small area. Car windows are made with toughned glass that makes it considerably harder to break than normal household annealed glass. when you overcome the breaking strength of toughned glass it shatters and crumbles into small pieces that become less dangerous in an accident the exception to this is the glass used in car windscreens which is laminated safety glass this is two sheets laminated together a layer of vynl which will allow the glass to break but remain in place.

Can water that's too hot break glass in a dishwasher?

Glass does not typically "break" at any temperature. If you want to be technical, the melting point of glass is 2600-2900 °F, which is much (much) hotter than a dishwasher is capable of. When things are hot, they grow very slightly larger due to their molecular composition. When something is hot and is suddenly made much cooler, it will quickly shrink back to normal. When fragile things like glass are cooled down too fast, the shape change is enough to crack or break them, especially if the glass already has hairline cracks.


In particals How do sound waves shatter glass?

If the sound waves are strong enough the shattering of glass occurs when glass vibrates at the same frequency as the sound waves on the outer surface of the glass, but at lower frequencies inside the glass. This causes interference in the waveforms moving through the glass, which stress the glass, causing it to break. This is a different effect than when a single sharp sound, such as an explosion, pushes the glass beyond its breaking point.


What would cause a glass table to break on its own?

Severe changes in temperatures can shatter glass which often happens in car windshields. If there is a chip or crack in the glass and water penetrates it and freezes it can shatter glass especially if it is tempered. Heating can expand the tables frame and crush the glass but other than an object falling or direct pressure...ghosts?
