Can Sound Be Created From Light ?

Recommended Posts

Light is a significant element that has been much studied about, from the earliest of ages. Light is defined as "electromagnetic radiation" and causes us to see things on earth. Very small portions of light given out and received is usually known as "photons" have been found to travel as either "waves or particles".

 

These are the facts we have been well acquainted with, also we do know about the various uses of light, the basic one... to see, for advancement in the medical arena, if you talk about the field of art and entertainment, there is so much light has contributed to, be it LED TV's to the advanced lighting display specially used in films and on the stage, still I guess it has more to offer. It is immensely praiseworthy that something as transparent as light can be modified to a level where it can dare to cure issues which had been quite like challenges like correcting an eye ,tooth , some nervous block or even for the beautification of the skin.

 

 

Now a question that often springs up into my mind is that when one form of energy can be used to obtain another form of energy, then is it feasible to do the same with light and sound? Can there be any chance where light can be used to create sound and that too of a considerably impressive quality? The speed of their travel is vastly different, their properties too lie different, however there must be some idea devised by technology to successfully develop sound from light.

 

 

The power of laser technology is also been demonstrated when it has been used to cut diamonds which is as hard as possible. Some noteworthy efforts have been made so far to create sound from light, yet more of revolutionary steps are sought after. With laser rays being so intensified, it might be fruitful to make the rays pass from different directions and intersect at some point to produce sound at any level , even at the most micro level. It would be specially helpful to create sound in areas of limited access , especially where it is a task to install a device to produce sound. The emission of the rays can be monitored to accurately control the entire process. There is another advantage that can be mentioned about, light can travel even through vacuum , sound , if in its already created form, cannot do so, if light can be made to travel into such a space and then converted into sound, after reaching there, the limitation of sound waves gets void. The level of sound demands proportionate change in the release of laser rays. If it possibly turns into a reality, there can be a lot that can be done to make the basic idea go many steps further. One revolution would pave way for another .

If you can crack and burn things with leaser and leaser is a light then why not? Break something with it to make some noise.I'm not an expert but for me it's some kind of energy transformation. In theory you can transfer any form of energy to another, it's only a question of the right device and the control over the outcome of the process.
