Product Number: 883300‑3
-
Description: 400 g of sand specifically intended for use with Chladni plates.
-
Type of Sand: Quartz sand.
-
Grain Size: 0.4 – 0.8 mm.
-
Use Case: When sprinkled on a vibrating plate, the sand arranges itself along the nodal lines (areas of minimal vibration) to reveal standing wave patterns (Chladni figures).
Key Features
-
High Purity Quartz Sand
The use of quartz ensures consistent behavior under vibration, making patterns more distinct and reproducible. -
Optimized Grain Size
With grain sizes between 0.4 and 0.8 mm, the sand is fine enough to respond to small amplitude changes in vibration, but large enough to settle cleanly on the nodal lines. -
Amount & Packaging
Comes in a 400 g pack — enough for multiple experiments. -
Educational Use
Ideal for physics demonstrations and labs. When used with Chladni plates and a vibration generator, students can visually explore and map out vibration modes. -
Safe for Classroom Use
It’s non-toxic and straightforward to handle, making it suitable for school environments. (No special chemicals or dangerous materials listed.)
