Resonant-frequency dependence on whisker length and base diameter. A, As predicted by Equation 4, the resonance frequencies are well fitted by a function that decreases inversely with the whisker length (L). B, A log-log plot of frequency versus length reveals a relationship of L-1.5. C, The radius of the whisker base scales as the square root of whisker length, adding an extra 0.5 to the expected exponent of L-2 in Equation 4.
