Bell Ringer: What causes the flames the the flame tube demo to get taller and shorter?

    • Flame tube demo

      • Sound waves are changes in pressure

      • Pressure is seen as the height of the flame (more pressure = more gas squeezed out = taller flame)

      • Standing waves are sometimes created, length of wave depends on frequency of tone

    • Blue Man Group Clips - how do we change the sound made by an instrument?
