***** The previous version wasn't the final version of the vid. This video is the version that I showed to people the day of the science fair. ***** This is for a physics project. Here's a little more detail on the steps: Step 1: the program we used took the audio sample and used a Fourier Transform to convert it into a graph of the frequencies up to ~11000 Hz, and their relative magnitude. The glass used in step 1 broke around 630.4 Hz, but the footage was bad so for step 3 a different ...
