This is basic “standing wave” phenomena. So what you see is a physical representation of vibration, or how sound manifests into form through the medium of various materials. Those who have studied basic physics will recall that there are specific characteristic points on a wave–crests, troughs and nodes. Cymatics, the study of wave phenomena, is a science pioneered by Swiss medical doctor and natural scientist, Hans Jenny (1904-1972). Jenny's cymatic images are truly awe-inspiring, not only for their visual beauty in portraying the inherent responsiveness of matter to sound (vibration) but because they inspire a deep recognition that we, too, are part and parcel of this same complex and intricate vibrational matrix – the music of the spheres! For 14 years he conducted experiments animating inert powders, pastes, and liquids into life-like, patterns were created using simple sine wave vibrations (pure tones) within the audible range.

Also, a single cross section is influenced laterally (the plate does not fly apart), so it can be tricky to calculate exactly what the pattern will be if the distance from the source of vibration is not uniform. Cymatics, the study of wave phenomena, was pioneered by Swiss medical doctor and natural scientist, Hans Jenny (1904-1972). Somehow it all seems to link up?
