A singer, holding a note of the right frequency, can shatter a glass if the glassware is of high quality. This cannot be done if the glassware quality is low. Explain why.

A singer, holding a note of the right frequency, can shatter a glass if the glassware is of high quality. This cannot be done if the glassware quality is low. Explain why.

When a singer holds a note of a particular frequency which is equal to the natural frequency of the glass, it will vibrate with great amplitudes. As a result the glass may be blown apart in pieces.

If the glass quality is low, the resonance frequency cannot be matched with its right natural frequency. That is why it cannot be done if the glassware quality is low
