The hot chocolate effect
In: 0
So from my understanding after a quick googleing. The hot chocolate powder also adds tiny air boubles to the water that lowers the pitch, after stirring the air boubles slowly rise to the top and pop which brings the pitch back up.
On another note, the hot chocolate effect sounded like something so intresting untill i googled it.
when you are stirring hot liquids, air bubbles get trapped in the liquid. sound travels slower through air than water, so while there are air bubbles in the liquid, sound will travel slower. slower moving sound = lower sounding. when you start tapping your spoon on the side of the cup to knock the residual liquid off it, the tapping makes sound that travels through the liquid, which is still moving and has air bubbles. as the liquid stops moving, the air bubbles can settle out of it, so the air will travel at normal speed, and the sound produced will get higher
