    Bell Water
  1. A brass bell (B Fig 11) was substituted for the tuning fork. The ribbon R was inserted also.
    No sound from M.


  2. To test whether the difference of metals used in the last experiments had anything to do with the result a piece of steel was substituted for the brass ribbon R and the bell B was then rung.
    No sound from M.

  3. Piece of steel substituted for B (Fig 9).
    Sound as in Experiment 10.

(Thoughts.)

It seems as if the sound from M (Figs 7,8,9,10,11) was loudest when the metallic surface B Fig 10 is largest and the vibrating surface in contact with the water smallest.

Try the following arrangement. Fasten wire W to stretched membrane m.
