If youplace a wineglass before a utterer pass off waves at the vessel ’s resonant frequence , it will tickle , or even shatter . But resonant frequencies are n’t unequaled to stemware ; every object has one ( or , more often , several ) . Even googly middle .
The googly eye in this video by Rob Cruickshank , for exercise , have a resonating absolute frequency of about 433 Hz . When this frequency is hit , the eyes — and this is the scientific terminology — go all googly . presumptively , increasing the amplitude would cause these eyes to google to the point of obliteration . Cruickshank , mercifully , spares the googly eyes this grisly end .
