Best Answer

An Opera singer breaks glass Because a glass has a resonant frequency. To break a glass you need to have a high and loud pitch. Hold it for two or three seconds so the pressure builds up and breaks the glass.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thats sorta correct...actually the glass shatters because the opera singer sings a note which is close to the glasses natural frequency. This causes resonance to occur and shatter the glass. Resonance is when one object is vibrating at the same natural frequency as another object, and this causes the second object into a vibrational motion as well.

The second answer is correct. Voices can have other effects on the physical world; Ozzy Osbourne, in the 70s, used to change channels on his TV by roaring at it.

Can u make it a little bit shorter?
