Nice. Thanks.

nice job

Light looks exactly like this when I leave my light on, through a slit in my bedroom door. Awesome that could definitely explain the double slit, just pressure mediations in the medium, nothing is being emitted lol.

Soooo cooolll

Hi there, it waz very interested to see some with a real knowledge about an idea that came to me since 10 years, and i wonder if you get with your knowledge to the results i did, but i couldn't deploy it because i was not my bath and also i didn't have the resources, you did mention about the levitation an opject with a sound wave, did you ever consider for levitation the source of the sound with those waves?

Wow

Reminds me of the double slit experiment

Wonderful experiments.. I would like to see the two emitting sources placed into one-another. Placed in such a manner that the position of the 2nd emitter may be adjusted spatially so the node/anti-node can coincide with the 1st. Much the same as you did with the glass plate. I enjoy the videos Wolfgang...

has a variation been tried with the double split experiment, to me it seems the wave forms are partictice when one transducer observes the other, and by the end we see everything is a wave. just time and case for observer for items to become solid. Blown my mind

The double slit experiment is the lightwave version of this. It has been falsely claimed to prove light is a particle, but we see quite obviously that it's just wave interference.

If you offset the frequency of one of the transducers by 30-60 hz would the camera pick up the beat frequency?

@NatSciDemos

4 жыл бұрын

In principle it could be done, but as a practical matter it would be complicated by the fact that these particular transducers do not give a constant power output for all frequencies.

Hello, professor, the video uses this method to see the movement behavior of waves in the air. Is there a way to see the movement behavior of the transducer?

@NatSciDemos

Жыл бұрын

The transducer moves under the influence of a sinusoidal current, just like a transducer in, say, a stereo speaker. Because it's driven near resonance, the phase between the motion and input current will differ by about 90 degrees. Viewing the motion visually could be done using a very fast (approx 28 kHz) strobe light, but it would still be difficult to see because of the small amplitude.

You didn't talk about destructive interference, where crests meet troughs. That's part of the interference pattern. Otherwise, awesome video! I love how the strobe frequency created the illusion of a standing wave. Brilliant!

Has anybody tried using infrasound with this setup?

The sound is ultrasonic, so by definition I can't hear it and even if I could, the audio is low pass filtered at about 15.5kHz. Yet I can hear something when the emitters are running. To verify that I'm not hallucinating, I downloaded the audio and had a look at the FFT. They really do seem to be producing extra sound, strongest at roughly 14.25kHz and 14.6kHz. I have noticed the same thing using cheap piezo buzzers to play with ultrasound at home. Is it caused by alternate vibration modes in the emitters, rattling, or something else? It is loudest at the et the end of the video.

In our case the wavelength is 12 mm and the transducer diameter is 45 mm. Thus, 12/45 = 0.27 radians, or about 15 degrees. And that's pretty much what we see in the video.

Why can we see the constructive interference, but not the actual, or whole(?), wave?

To see the constructive interference, we use continuous illumination. We don't see the traveling waves under continuous illumination because they move very fast (the speed of sound is about 340 m/s).

Why does ultrasonic sound travel so linearly?

The waves are seen to spread out only a little bit in the picture because the transducers are flat surfaces and we're looking at a very close area around them. In other words, if the transducers were more like point sources then we would see the waves radiate out at a wider angle.

@@NatSciDemos That makes a lot of sense. I've heard that higher-frequency sounds travel more linearly than radially, but it makes much more sense for that to be a consequence of the transducer than an inherent property of high-frequency waves.

The sound/vibration of AUM is very important in Hinduism. In yoga the there is whole science behind sound/vibration. The whole universe is menifested in vibration/sound which is AUM as per Hinduism.
