Steve,
* Here is a challenge for you that might have profound scientific interest.
* Make a hollow uniformly thick sphere of flexible and resilient material, possibly rubber or plastic, this coated or impregnated with a material that changes color with stretch. It should have much more inertia than adjacent air so waves would propagate tangentially rather than radially.
* With that you should be able to visualize nodes and antinodes of spherical standing waves as you oscillate a small area with focussed sound waves of various pitches.
* The dynamics of your sphere should be those of a spherical bell. You might be the first to observe such dynamics, possibly amazing shapes of overtones.
* It seems interesting to speculate whether energies of any electron in any atom might be overtones in spherical electron clouds.
* Let me know your thoughts on the spherical bell, if any.
