In Vino Veritas : A study of wineglass acoustics

A. P. French · American Journal of Physics · 1983

This paper describes an investigation of the natural resonant frequencies of vessels such as wineglasses. Measurements on a number of glasses are interpreted with the help of theoretical predictions based on the analysis of vibrating systems by means of the energy method. Results and analysis are given for empty glasses and for glasses containing different amounts of liquid. Evidence for vibrational modes above the lowest is presented.
