Standing Waves in Water

Here a small dish of water is mounted on a speaker and vibrated at different frequencies. At specific frequencies standing waves are created. The frequency is dependent on the depth of the water, the size of the dish, and speed of waves in the liquid. Many modes of oscillation are possible in the same dish of water. To get better lighting black ink was added to the water
