Chladni Figures: Visualizing Sound Waves
Chladni figures are patterns formed by particles, such as sand or salt, on a vibrating surface like a metal plate. As the plate vibrates at specific frequencies, the particles move…
Echolocation: Navigating with Sound
Echolocation is a biological sonar system used by some animals to navigate and hunt. By producing sounds and listening to the returning echoes, animals can detect objects, measure distances, and…
Nuclear Power Plant with a Closed Cycle
A closed-cycle nuclear power plant is a type of nuclear facility where the nuclear fuel cycle is designed to reuse materials and minimize waste. Unlike the traditional open cycle, in…
