Worth It!

You know how your favorite songs sound like. Now you can make a visualizer and see how they look like.

It works like this: When you play sound through your speaker, the diaphragm of the speaker vibrates. These vibrations move the mirror attached to the speaker up and down which in turn affects how the laser light is reflected from the mirror.

Supplies

Speaker

A small decorative mirror

Laser pointer

Some tape (or glue)

As a bonus, try playing sounds of varying frequencies and notice the pattern.
