Abstract
Professor Helmholtz remarks, at page 603 of the fourth edition of his “Tonempfindungen,” that a film of soapsuds and glycerine forms, when caused to occupy the orifice of one of his “resonators," an extremely sensitive means by which to make visible the vibrations of the air within its cavity. While I was engaged in verifying this observation, my notice was attracted to the parallel bands of colour which traversed the film, and it occurred to me to examine whether the forms of these bands were affected by the sonorous vibrations which agitated the film. A few rough trials having convinced me that they were so affected, I at once proceeded to submit the phenomena which presented themselves to a closer examination.
