This weekend was the Iolani Fair, and the band I'm in, New Breed, entered the talent show! We played an original song called, "Take You Away." (We also got first:) eeeeeeep!) Anyways, sooo how does this relate to physics? Well, in class we've been learning about sound waves and frequencies and wavelengths and interference and much much more. Our band has two vocalists, two guitars, two ukuleles, drums, and a piano (me). There are lots of sound waves traveling through the air when we play, and the waves interfere with each other, hopefully construvtively, in order to produce a nice sound. The guitars and ukuleles have sound boards, which allow the waves to have a medium to bounce off of and create a louder sound. Amplifiers increased the volume of the instruments by increasing the amplitude of each wave! The vocalists sang and different pitches, or frequencies, throughout the song, creating beautiful sounds. There is so much physics in music! It's wild!!!
