here is a great in parallel bar

if you put a point of the waves in the flat grading which way we'll

the waves go

the shape of the spiking helmet is actually a clue more about later

we experimented with sound in microscopic grading

structures like this local phone only crystals was acoustic properties have been engineered to vary

periodically in space

in the experiment blue laser light of this create tiny time triples by deleting a

small ball

infrared light pulses detect the ripples

this time pitch is very high around one together with amplitude in the peak a

meter range

with down the detection one and change the timing of the latent vote is to

make movies of the ripples using interferometry

our grading is made of tiny colour and delay constraints on a silicon flat and

this is coded with goal

we've by i like the pulses repetitively at the center of a one and you

might want square area

this movie slowed down a thousand million times

let's analyze different frequencies

at low frequencies we see roughly circular ripples

actually this is reasonable because the sound wave length is about ten microns much larger

than the grading by a

so this time detective it doesn't see the grading

but at high frequencies we see this interesting shaped pattern

and the x shape close is at higher frequencies

the top row shows that we can get the same effect numerical simulations

but bottom row is experiment

now that and of life sound wavelength understand the in these images

there are two important space is called case phase and group velocity space

for a given frequency in case space we plot inverse of the wavelength or rather

the wave number in the x and y directions

in group a multi-space shown on the right we plot speed of a sound files

in this approximate analytical approach at low frequencies we get round shapes in both spaces

this means the ripples are roughly circular

as the frequency increases we hate of and got in the horizontal direction of direction

weights can travel visible through the opening so in case space

and this makes to the in group a two d space

these two circles position at higher frequencies

in case basis weights to vary strongly perpendicular to the turning points in the curves

in group a multi-space biz correspond to joining the times of the circles

this produces the shape with or

if we see all frequencies to get a group of l d space looks like

this

so now d the relation with the viking helmet

imagine a cross section three the helmet here

it is just the circle and that gives the round trip will happen

what is use like the helmet at higher frequencies that means higher you get too

small circles

so the way the channel in the direction of these two circles

this explains why exchange close is at higher frequencies

actually i should rotate the ice of this helmet to correspond to experiment like the

the spiky focusing buttons a cold costings

you can find them in coffee cups

and also when you generate sound waves on real crystals

so point so integrating produces an x pattern code by acoustics related to the band

is that they should also be seen in a variety of spatially periodic structures and

is not just confined to stand

it would with electromagnetic or what waves for example

i will conclude by saying

for that

which is the biking for thanks policemen
