What is the sound: the photographer got the unique image of acoustic waves

Photographer Linden Gledhill, working in the genre of science photos submitted digital images of sound waves. To receive them, he set over the tank with water amplified speaker that is connected to a computer with special software.




The photographer with his camera located above capacity, including LED strobe lamp and gave the sound through the speakers.



As a result, the camera captures the glowing neon colored iridescence, changing the beat of acoustic vibrations.



For many years, Linden Gledhill explores the invisible physical world, which he materializes through visual images in different scales. According to him, the image of sound vibrations are sufficiently stable. But it is necessary to change the oscillation frequency as the image comes to life immediately.



"When you read about the geometric symmetry of nature and physics - Gledhill says - that in the resulting image will not see anything surprising. These modes of vibration are somewhat similar leaf sea shells or tortoise shell. »
