Scientists have somehow managed to develop a sound underwater that is so loud, it instantaneously causes water to vaporize.
The research team at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) at Stanford University elected to utilize their super powerful X-ray laser to shoot vastly high frequency energy in brief pulses at a microscopic jet of H20. When the energy bursts strike the water, the water instantly boiled like an implausibly high-tech kettle. A pretty rad looking shockwave was too sent through the entire little jet of water. Essentially, this reaction was produced by the sound formulated being so loud that it causes water molecules to automatically vaporize.
What’s sick about it is that, as the molecules of water evaporate, you can view the shockwave affecting the stream of liquid to the point that it is undoubtedly disturbed – you can witness it moving in right and left directions – however it does not break down. So, the H20 is being disrupted to the point that the molecules are disrupted, though not wholly breaking down like they would do giving X-rays were pointed at it ordinarily. The researchers have a notion that hints this means that the level of pressure made by the shockwaves is just under the point of total molecular breakdown. From that we can deduce that this is the higher limit of how loud a sound can get underwater prior to the water completely begins to break apart.
The Stanford team’s study was published in an issue of Physical Review Fluids. So, how loud is it then? Hmm, in language that we can – sort of – comprehend, it’s equal to roughly 270 decibels. A rocket lifting off isn’t as loud as that, by the way. Interestingly, you wouldn’t want to hear this sound anyway. For starters, earplugs wouldn’t be able to aid you. The sound would obliterate not only your eardrums, but too destroy internal organs like your lungs and heart as well.
