Chladni's law
Chladni's law, named after Ernst Chladni, relates the frequency of modes of vibration for flat circular surfaces with fixed center as a function of the numbers "m" of diametric (linear) nodes and "n" of radial (circular) nodes. It is stated as the equation
where "C" and "p" are coefficients which depend on the properties of the plate.
For flat circular plates, "p" is roughly 2, but Chladni's law can also be used
, Biot's lively report became popular and persuaded more people to take Chladni's insights seriously.
A mineral, first described in 1993 from the Carlton (IIICD) iron meteorite, was named chladniite in his honor.
Other work.
Chladni discovered Chladni's law, a simple algebraic relation for approximating the modal frequencies of the free oscillations of plates and other bodies.
Chladni estimated sound velocities in different gases by placing those gases in an organ pipe and measuring the characteristics of the sounds that emerged when the pipe
