In order for a fire to sustain itself, it needs three things: fuel, heat, and oxygen, with the disruption of just one of those causing the fire to extinguish. Water, sand, and carbon dioxide-based … ...

Acoustic-gravity waves are very long sound waves that cut through the deep ocean at the speed of sound. These lightning-quick currents can sweep up water, nutrients, salts, and any other particles ...

Patches on the surface of the sun oscillate up and down in 5-minute motions, NASA officials said in a reference page. These sound waves travel radially, meaning inward and outward.

A group of international researchers have developed a way to use sound to generate different types of wave patterns on the surface of water and use those patterns to precisely control and steer ...

They used polarized light—a light wave that oscillates only in a specific direction. Sunglasses, for example, reduce glare by blocking out light waves that oscillate in certain directions.

First, electric signals are converted to mechanical movements that cause the silk to vibrate and emit its own sound waves. These oscillate out of sync with undesirable sound waves and therefore ...

First sound illustrates how sound waves would oscillate through a normal fluid and superfluid together. MIT. 3 / 3. Second sound illustrates how heat oscillates through a superfluid from one end ...

As sound waves propagate through the Sun's interior, they bounce off the photosphere and cause patches of the surface to oscillate. Scientists divide these waves into different "modes" depending ...
