For a vibrations lab experiment, our group decided to determine the resonance of 3 wines glasses, conical, cylindrical, spherical. I know that on Wikipedia they have these equations. What they don't have is how they derived them. I would like to know the math behind these. I've tried searching on the web but to no luck. Is there any place I could find out more or does anyone here know anything about them? Thanks for any help

You need to look at the 1D or 2D wave equation and solve that using the particular boundary conditions. It would be a big help if you knew separation of variables method for solving PDEs
