Why don't loud sounds break all glass objects?

Answer 1

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").

Answer 2

Glass objects can withstand loud sounds because the frequency of the sound wave is not sufficient to cause the glass to break. Glass can vibrate when exposed to loud sounds, but it requires a specific frequency and intensity to shatter. Additionally, factors like the thickness and quality of the glass also play a role in its ability to resist breaking.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

Yes it can
