Waves in Motion - Clark Little Photography

via clarklittlephotography.com

Amazing pictures of waves caught in mid motion, imagery full of the Aloha spirit. The explosion of colors as the sunlight is filtered and warped leads to the interpretation of sculpture and liquid blossoms.

Ernst Chladni and Standing Wave Patterns

Ernst Chladni figures for a square steel plate (adapted from Waller 1961) demonstrates the fantastic variety of standing wave patterns that can arise from a simple resonating system. A square steel plate is clamped at its midpoint and sprinkled with sand. It is then set into vibration either by bowing with a violin bow, or by pressing dry ice against it. The resultant standing wave patterns are revealed by the sand, that collects at the nodes of the oscillation where the vibration is minimal.

From Harmonic Resonance Theory: an Alternative to the "Neuron Doctrine" Paradigm of Neurocomputation to Address Gestalt properties of perception.
