Vibrations

   

Preface
This website is designed to accompany the video "Soundings on Vibration" produced by Lancaster University Physics Department with a grant from the EPSRC's Public Awareness of Science Programme. It both supplements the video and develops some idea further. There are a number of links (those coloured red offer more technical information) that can be followed for additional information. To get a copy of this film please visit your local library.
