I had to purchase Observing the Universe: A Guide to Observational Astronomy and Planetary Science, by Andrew Norton, for the Duke TIP program at PARI. It explains in good detail many aspects of observational astronomy. Good book for a serious introduction to this subject.

Somehow I found this video about Cymatics. It shows some very odd things that sound waves can achieve.

Here is Part 2 and Part 3 of the video.

Which is why I highly recommend the his video lectures on Physics. Also, I would suggest watching the physics lectures of Richard Feynman.

His video courses include:
Physics I – Classical Mechanics
Physics II – Electricity and Magnetism
Physics III – Vibration and Waves
