Cup-and-string telephone
MODEL RELEASED. Cup-and-string telephone being used by a boy and a girl in a wood in autumn. The girl (in background) is speaking into one of the cups, and the sound waves are being transmitted along the string to the other cup, being held to the boys ear. The sound waves pass from the string into the air inside the cup, and the boy will be able to hear what the girl is saying. This apparatus is used to demonstrate the principles of sound waves and their transmission. Tin cans can also be used instead of paper or plastic cups

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this autumn scene, a young boy and girl are immersed in the wonders of science and friendship. They stand amidst a beautiful woodland setting, surrounded by vibrant fall foliage. The girl stands slightly behind, her face filled with excitement as she speaks into one of the cups attached to a string. As sound waves travel along the string, they pass into the air inside the cup held against the boy's ear. With eager anticipation, he listens intently to hear what his friend has to say. This ingenious apparatus is known as a cup-and-string telephone, designed to demonstrate how sound waves can be transmitted through different mediums. It serves as an educational tool for these curious minds to learn about physics and communication while having fun outdoors. Their smiles radiate pure happiness and their bond grows stronger through this interactive experience. This image beautifully captures not only their joy but also highlights the importance of fostering friendships and embracing diverse cultures. As they playfully explore nature's wonders together, these children exemplify curiosity and learning in action. Their laughter echoes through the woods as they discover new ways to communicate using simple yet effective technology. Science Photo Library brings us this delightful snapshot that encapsulates childhood innocence, education, and genuine connection between friends in an enchanting autumnal landscape.
