 What is the physics involved with breaking glass with your voice?
While breaking glass with sound is an interesting trick, it really takes a lot of effort to get the job done.
The glass hums (and doesn't shatter) because the amplitude of the waves (the actual physical displacement that creates the sound) is not sufficient to surpass the strength of the glass.
To break the glass, you need to broadcast not only a sound that is *just* the right frequency, but also has a high enough amplitude (loudness) to exceed the strength of the glass to resist those vibrations.
