People are immersed in a universe filled with sound and experience it daily through hearing and vibration, according to Sinha. Sound is created by vibration and travels as waves through any medium in a number of ways. Observing how these waves interact with any medium can help researchers identify the medium even if it is hidden inside sealed containers, he added.
Dipen Sinha will discuss acoustics and its applications, including how it is possible to use sound to solve problems in health, national security and for industry. "I take advantage of the nature of sound waves and often manipulate these waves to solve technically challenging problems related to energy and national security," Sinha said. Tapping sound waves to address energy, national security challenges. LOS ALAMOS, N.M. July 24, 2014—Dipen Sinha of Los Alamos National Laboratory's Materials Synthesis and Integrated Devices group will discuss acoustics and its applications, including how it is possible to use sound to solve problems in health, national security and for industry, in a series of Frontiers in Science Lectures beginning July 29 at Crossroads Bible Church in Los Alamos. "I take advantage of the nature of sound waves and often manipulate these waves to solve technically challenging problems related to energy and national security,” Sinha said. "How an object vibrates also tells a lot about it. Sound can exert force on objects.
