Best Answer

Glass objects break when the vibrational frequency of the sound causes the atoms in the glass to vibrate more frequently until they are out of control.

If the frequency doesn't match the natural vibrational frequency of the movement of the atoms, the atoms don't get any additional energy from the sound.

Think of it like a trampoline. If one person jumps at the right time, they can send their partner much higher (and often out of control). If you jump at a different time, you can actually take away their energy ("bounce").

If the sound is loud enough, it will. But you can't make sounds loud enough except with explosives.

Which is better tin pie pan or glass pie pan?

Glass or ceramic make the best pies. They hold the heat more evenly. Glass has the benefit of being see-through, so you can see the color of the crust. Metal pie pans sometimes give pies a metallic taste. Dont put a frozen pie in a glass dish into a hot oven or the glass will break!
