Resonant
Rings consists of circular steel bands of various diameters
that are mounted on a plate which has been attached to a loudspeaker.
By adjusting the frequency of the sound from an oscillator
to the speaker, a graphic illustration of harmonic resonance
can be seen in the rings as they vibrate at various frequencies
and in different modes. The frequency of the speaker can be
read directly on a digital counter. Exciter levers are provided
for two of the rings so they may be struck lightly and their
natural frequency observed, or their motions dampened.
