Question

a sound wave can be used to shatter a wine glass. This can be explained by which of these ? A) sound is a compression wave. B) the sound will interfere with the molecules in the glass. C) the sound resonantes at the natural frequency of the glass. D) if sound is loud enough it will have enough energy to break the glass

Answer 1

C) the sound resonates at the natural frequency of the glass

Step-by-step explanation:

Resonance is a case that occurs when the frequency being played becomes equal to the natural frequency of the material. The natural frequency of a material is the frequency it generates when struck.

So, if the natural frequency of the wine glass and the frequency of the sound which is being subjected to glass become equal it results in the glass shattering.
