Play Video: The physics behind the sound of clapping | Science News

The sound of hands clapping is thanks to a Helmholtz resonator. That’s the same concept behind the sound made when you blow across the top of an empty bottle. A Helmholtz resonator consists of an enclosed pocket of air, connected to an opening by a neck. Air vibrates within the neck, creating sound waves. When a person claps, an air pocket is formed within the palms. A jet of air streams out of a gap left between the thumb and forefinger, kicking off vibrations in the surrounding air. Researchers saw a similar effect using cup-shaped silicone models designed to mimic palms slapping together.

Play Video: See how a coral ‘walks’ | Science News

Young mushroom corals like this one start life on reefs, lurking for tiny prey. But before they get too heavy to nudge themselves along, they make one great migration off the reef, propelling themselves by puffing up on the outer rim of their dome-shaped body and, as the body pulses, jolting forward, as seen in this time-lapse video. It’s slow — an hour or two of “walking” couldn’t even cross a dinner plate — but eventually, they find some deeper place to settle on sand.
