Temperature, Frequency and Young’s Modulus of a Wineglass
by Amitta Miller and Rachel Seng
Abstract
A crystal soda-lime wineglass, heated to temperatures ranging from 25°C to 150°C, was tapped and the frequency recorded. It was shown that the relative change in the frequency at different temperatures can be used to determine the effect of temperature on Young’s Modulus of the glass. This simple method of tapping a wineglass is proposed as an effective way of determining the relative effect of temperature on Young’s Modulus of glass.
