Law of physics that contributed to the falling down of the walls

 
Sound waves are a series of longitudinal or compression waves that move through air or other materials. Sound waves are created by the vibration of an


object, like the strings on a guitar. Another property of sound is called sound
frequency or pitch. This is how often the particles of a medium vibrate when a


wave passes through a medium. This can be said to be a measure of number of back and forth vibrations for a particle of the medium per unite time. If the


frequency is high, the wave length generated is small and the smaller the wavelength, the smaller the period.
In all the properties of sound, resonant frequency is


the most part which causes structures to break. Resonant causes a lot of vibrations which change the
amplitude or the natural frequency of an object. Thus when the resonant


frequency
of an object is equal to the frequency of the produced sound, the object breaks.


The concept of resonant frequency is what God used to pull the great walls Jericho. When the Israelis were going round the city every day, they were


gradually causing vibrations in the walls. The vibration even increased more when
they encircled the city seven times on the seventh day. With the blowing


of trumpets coupled with the extreme shout by the Israelis, the resonant frequency of their voices and that of sound of the trumpets reached the resonant


frequency
of the walls which caused the walls to oscillate and vibrate and finally collapsed.
