Cymatics is the study of the visual patterns that emerge when a surface is vibrated with sound waves. The term "cymatics" comes from the Greek word "kyma," meaning "wave." By sprinkling powder or other materials onto a surface and then vibrating it with sound waves, intricate patterns and shapes emerge, revealing the hidden structures of sound. This phenomenon has fascinated scientists, artists, and musicians for centuries, and has inspired a wide range of creative applications.
