Making Sound Visible

Featured Video Play Icon

Sound is not something we can typically see, though there are ways to visualize it, including cymatics and special acoustic cameras. This video pursues a different tactic: using schlieren photography and stroboscopic lighting to show how sound waves reflect and deflect. It’s no easy feat, but one worth enjoying–especially when others have already done the hard part for you! (Video and image credit: All Things Physics; submitted by David J.)
