Scientists have finally solved the mystery of the physics behind the sound you hear when you clap your hands! The mechanism ...

The “Helmholtz resonator” concept explains the frequencies of sound produced by clapping the hands together in different configurations.

A new paper published in the journal Physical Review Research provides experimental support for the hypothesis that hand clapping essentially acts like a Helmholtz resonator —akin to the hum generated ...

Researchers elucidate the complex physical mechanisms and fluid dynamics involved in a handclap, with potential applications in bioacoustics and personal identification, whereby a handclap could be ...

Although sound travels quite fast ... measuring the time taken for you to hear an echo from a sharp clap, either made by hands or by banging two wooden blocks together. You stand a long distance ...

We wanted to explore how we generate the sound depending on how we clap our hands.” The researchers used high-speed cameras to track the hand motion, air flow and sound of 10 volunteers clapping ...
