Plate Modes

Tap the plate and watch the exact standing-wave (Chladni) nodal lines you are hearing form in real time — the sound and the geometry are the same vibrating physics.

Tap the plate to strike it — each tap is an impulse. Even untouched, the swept driver keeps ringing up new modes, so the luminous sand lines reorganize on their own. Cyan-white lines are nodes (where the plate is still); the faint amber wash is the antinodes (where it swings hardest).
