  • Thin film interference on soap film. Bands of color are created by white light shining on a film of soap. Some of the light reflects off the surface of the film, while the rest of the light travels through the film and reflects off the back of the film. The colors are caused by light waves interfering with each other in a process called optical interference. The different colors are caused by different thickness of the soap film.

  • A special compression driver speaker is mounted to the left of the glass.  When the speaker is set to the resonance of the glass - vibrations will constructively interfere with each other until the glass breaks.  This demonstration takes a special speaker, a frequency generator, and an amplifier that can drive the speaker at 120 watts.  The action is captured with a high speed flash operating at 1/20,000th of a second. This image is one out of a set of two showing before and during the glass shattering..

  • Fragment of an Abalone shell; color enhanced scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through an abalone (Haliotis sp.) shell. The shell is composed of layers of overlapping platelets of calcium carbonate crystals, or aragonite,  Between the layers are thin sheets of protein (not seen). This structure makes the shell much stronger than the materials would be in any other arrangement.  Abalones are edible mollusks found in warm seas. The thin layers of shell reflect light using the wave nature of light.  Each thin layer reflects a particular wavelength – together the layers reflect wavelengths of light that constructively interfere to create bright greens and blues. Magnification: x8000 when printed at 10 cm wide.

  • A spinning golf ball is flow tested in a two dimensional fluid flow. The colors relate to different pressures in the fluid. In this case the low-pressure area created by the Magnus effect contributes to the flight of the golf ball by creating lift. The rotating golf ball lift allows the ball to travel further. A high-speed flash at 1/15,000th of a second captures the action.

  • Here a candle is seen in a polarizing interferometer. The different colors of light represent different air pressures. This image freezes the motion by using a high speed flash with a duration of 1/2,000,000th of a second.

  • A .22 caliber bullet is fired from a rifle. Here the bullet is seen in a polarizing interferometer. The different colors of light represent different air pressures. The clear bow wave in front of the bullets shows that the bullet is moving faster than the speed of sound. The exact velocity of this supersonic bullet can be calculated from measurements of the bow wake angle. This image freezes the motion by using a high speed flash with a duration of 1/2,000,000th of a second.

  • A .22 caliber bullet is fired from a rifle. The pullet is passing through a thin sheet of glass. Here the bullet is seen in a polarizing interferometer. The different colors of light represent different air pressures. The clear bow wave in front of the bullets shows that the bullet is moving faster than the speed of sound.
