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.
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.
