Soap Film Oscillation

A wire frame is dipped in bubble solution and placed in front of a speaker. At certain frequencies, the soap film oscillates in symmetrical patterns called normal modes.

 

These images were made by reflecting light off the soap film through a large lens and onto the wall. They are a combination of square and circular soap film frames.

 

This is a very similar idea as the Chladni plates.
