THE amplitude of vibrations on the wave surface of a spherical light wave may, or may not, be homogeneous. According to the classical electromagnetic theory of light, for a spherical wave emitted by a ...

On the rise. Signs of convection are seen in the motion of hot gas under the influence of a gravity-like acoustic force in a spherical glass container. The images were recorded 15, 40, and 140 ...
