Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ability of Caruso's voice to shatter a crystal chandelier is due to resonance, which occurs when the frequency of a sound wave matches the natural frequency of an object, resulting in amplification of the sound energy. In this case, the frequency of Caruso's voice was able to match the natural frequency of the crystal chandelier, causing it to resonate and ultimately shatter.
