In the late 18th century, Ernst Chladni, a scientist and musician, discovered that the vibrations of a rigid plate could be visualized by covering it with a thin layer of sand and drawing a bow across its edge.
With the bow movement, the sand bounces and shifts, collecting along the nodal lines of the vibration.
