Standing waves pattern
Standing waves pattern on a drum skin. Sand was spread over the drum skin and the drum was then repeatedly hit (lower centre). The sand was displaced from areas of movement (antinodes) to areas where the drum skin remained still (nodes). These nodes and antinodes form standing waves and do not change position. They are caused by the repeated interference of waves with identical wavelengths, moving in opposite directions to each other. Constructive interference causes displacement, destructive interference does not

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of standing waves on a drum skin. The intricate pattern formed by the sand, which was delicately spread over the surface, showcases the dynamic nature of wave interference. As the drum is repeatedly struck at its lower center, areas of movement known as antinodes cause displacement in the sand particles. In contrast, regions where the drum skin remains still create nodes where no displacement occurs. These stationary nodes and moving antinodes give rise to standing waves that maintain their positions without any change. This phenomenon arises due to waves with identical wavelengths interfering with each other while moving in opposite directions. Constructive interference leads to significant displacement of sand particles, resulting in pronounced patterns on the drum skin. On the other hand, destructive interference does not cause any noticeable changes. The image beautifully illustrates how physics manifests itself through this static yet visually striking display. It highlights concepts such as wavelength, frequency, and interference that play crucial roles in understanding wave behavior. Through this photograph captured by Science Photo Library, we are invited into a world where sound and motion intertwine seamlessly within an instrument like a drum - creating harmonious patterns that captivate our senses and deepen our appreciation for both artistry and science alike.
