It seemed to me that the hose itself was moving thereby creating this exiting water pattern.

Don't try this in your bathroom or you will pee the same way...lol
Interesting about sine waves, I'm doning the introcutcion to music course on coursera and the sine wave is a fundemental wave at only one frequency, unlike a musical tone.

Hi Pat.
Thank you for posting this. I'll be setting this experiment up for my physics class. Lot's of great physics to discuss in this one!

Noel, If you reconstruct this experiment, please report back and tell us how it went. I have to admit, this seems like such an unexpected phenomenon, I first thought it must be computer animation.

in the very first example, the hose did not move, yet there was a wave pattern in the water's flow.
In the second and third examples, it DID move, and I think it is the movement of the hose that created the spiral that simulated direction (up and down... like the illusion that a wagon wheel is going backwards at certain speeds)

The hose moves in all examples - but you can't see it moving in the first example - what you see is a result of basically a different form of stroboscope behavior.
The video camera has a 24 fps rate - it is taking 24 still shots per second. The reason you don't see the hose moving in the first example is that the subwoofer is moving it at exactly the same rate as the frame rate of the camera - so at 24 Hz, the position of the hose is precisely the same place for each still shot so it appears that it is not moving, just like using a strobe timing light on a the crank pulley on a car - it looks like the mark isn't moving, but that's only because you see it at the same location on each rotation due to the srobe light.
Now, when you slow things down a bit, then the hose doesn't quite make it to the same location it did for the previous shot and you see what is an aliased image of a slow moving wave towards the hose. Speed it up faster than 24 Hz, and the opposite is the case.
What this demonstrates is a visual analogy to sampling aliasing in audio - so it totally belongs in this forum.
Also similar to when you used to see CRT flashing with slow moving images up or down the screen, with film shots of said CRT - the slight mismatch of the CRT refresh rate with the frame rate of the camera would alias and yield those images. Likewise when wheels on cars are filmed and it appears as if the wheel is slowly rotating compared to what the speed should actually look like. All the same phenomenon.
-Scott.

What is the wave that we are seeing? A 24Hz wavelength would be huge wouldn't it (since sound travels about 1000ft/sec, a 24Hz wave would be wavelength about 40feet) yet the water seems to be captured by the strobe in a wavelength of a few inches. Also, I thought sound waves are in the direction away from the speaker, not tangential to it. ( keep in mind that I know next to nothing about this type of audio, so I'm just asking here )

Fascinating video. I agree, this couldn't be the fundamental at that frequency; it must be a higher harmonic.

implications? Ummmm...
based on the shape generated by the last 2 experiments, I'm thinking this phenomenon was first discovered by the IRS

The wavelength of a 24 Hz soundwave is relatively long because the speed of sound is relatively high. During one cycle, 1/24 sec, sound will travel about 46 ft.
In this case the wavelength depends on the speed of the water stream. The water will not have traveled very far in 1/24 sec.

Cool. So if it was a string instead of a column of water, it would just be an unmoving straight line (or points equidistant from the speaker), depending on where it was in the cycle it was captured by the strobe.

Glad it helped.
Oops, sorry, you posted while I was posting this below. I'll add some more shortly -
We often think of waves as they usually drawn, as an x-y plot. This also is the same thing you see on an oscilloscope and chart recorder. The only waves that actually looks like that (that I can think offhand), are water waves like on the ocean, and a rope being shaken from one end.
In a soundwave, the air does not move from side to side or up and down; in other words it does not move at right angles to the direction of travel. The sound can spread out to the side, but the air motion is in the direction of travel. The air moves towards and and away from the source. The soundwave is an alternating series of compressed and rarefied regions of air. If you could freeze a soundwave and walk along it in the direction of travel with a pressure gauge, you would see the air pressure rising and falling as you moved along it. If you now plot these pressure readings with pressure on the vertical axis, you get the familiar sine wave shape, if the sound is of a pure frequency.
The wave seen in the water stream is more like a plot of a wave, rather than an actual wave. It is in effect a plot of the motion of the hose. The water stream is much like the paper strip in a chart recorder (like a polygraph or electrocardiograph, and the hose tip is like the chart recorder pen.

I may have misunderstood, I think you already know what I was trying to explain?
I beleive the water stream is not in the same direction as the sound wave would be, but at right angles to it. If the stream (or a string) were in the same direction as the soundwave from the speaker, both would remain straight.
I think that is what you meant?

))) I may have misunderstood, I think you already know what I was trying to explain? Yes. I saw this nice animation of it, which shows the back and forth motion of the air molecules, as the compression wave moves along, and the pressure at any point rises and falls. http://dev.physicslab.org/Document.aspx?doctype=3&filename=WavesSound_IntroSound.xmlThis is another video, with cool patterns from sound, based on resonant frequencies of rectangular plate glass, with the sound source coming from the center of the glass.. Note: a different phenomenon than the other video. Standing waves are produced by specific frequencies, as they reflect back from the edges, and cancel at certain points, resulting in no vibration. It doesn't require a special camera to see them. The salt accumulates in areas where the plate is not vibrating. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkox6niJ1Wc

Ok, thanks for confirming.
A string, as you described, would remain straight if it were in line with the speaker axis, the direction of the soundwave. The speaker in the video is projecting horizontally. But the water stream is vertical. If the string were also vertical, it would also wave, much like a rope being shaken from side to side at one end.
But there is probably a more important difference between the water stream wave and a soundwave. A soundwave propogates; energy is continuously being transformed back and forth between two different forms. Air motion causes compression and rarefaction, compression and rarefaction causes air motion, etc, etc.
The wave in the water stream is purely ballistic. Bits of water are being sent out along varying paths in a repeating pattern. But there is no wave propogation involved. You can see similar "waves" in traced machine gun fire. Or if you just shake a garden hose rapidly.
The "wave shape" is there, even if directly observed. The strobe effect of the video camera affects the wavelength and motion of the wave.
(edited - that should be "...affects the motion and direction of the wave".) .

Yes, I was referring to a vertical string. But filmed with a 24 fps camera. I think it wouldn't appear to wave in the camera as it would be filmed in the same position each time. This is when the frequency is 24 Hz or any freq that is a multiple of 24, like 240 Hz. If the frequency was slightly off 24, the string should appear to move slowly, like a slow motion view of the flapping that goes on with a guitar string.

That would be true if the string moved as one solid piece, like a rod. I think it would kind of wave or wiggle, though.
A better example might be a very high speed stream of water, one moving at the speed of sound. Over the distances in the video, the water stream would appear very nearly straight.
