SUMMARY
The resonant frequency of small particles, such as dust, is influenced by factors including the Bulk Modulus of the material and the object's size and shape. While larger solid objects can support resonances related to standing waves, small flexible objects like dust particles exhibit limited internal sonic resonances due to their low Bulk Modulus. The resonant frequency of a 1 cm³ glass object will differ from that of larger sizes, as size and material properties play a crucial role in determining the fundamental frequencies and harmonics supported by the object.
