Resumen
Los científicos detectaron oscilaciones acústicas en el fondo cósmico de microondas (CMB) y la distribución de la materia. Estos hallazgos en diferentes tiempos cósmicos apoyan el modelo del Big Bang caliente.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Cosmología Cosmología.
- La astrofísica es la astrofísica.
- Física de las partículas Física de las partículas
Sus antecedentes:
- El universo primitivo era un plasma caliente y ionizado con fotones y materia acoplados.
- El colapso gravitacional y la presión de los fotones crearon oscilaciones acústicas en este fluido primordial.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para comparar las oscilaciones acústicas detectadas en el fondo cósmico de microondas (CMB) con las de la distribución de densidad de materia actual.
- Para proporcionar más evidencia para el modelo estándar del Big Bang caliente.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de los datos de BOOMERANG y MAXIMA CMB (desplazamiento hacia el rojo ~ 1000).
- Comparación con los datos del espectro de potencia de la densidad de la materia (deslizamiento al rojo ~ 0.1).
Principales resultados:
- Detección de oscilaciones acústicas en el CMB.
- Detección consistente de las oscilaciones correspondientes en el espectro de potencia de densidad de materia.
- Acuerdo entre CMB y observaciones de distribución de la materia.

Standing Waves
Sometimes waves do not seem to move; rather, they just vibrate in place. Unmoving waves can be seen on the surface of a glass of milk kept in a refrigerator, which is one example of standing waves. Vibrations from the refrigerator motor create waves on the milk that oscillate up and down but do not seem to move across the surface. These waves are formed or created by the superposition of two or more identical moving waves in opposite directions. The waves move through each other, with their...
Perception of Sound Waves
The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies in the audible range. It may perceive sound waves with the same pressure but different frequencies as having different loudness. Moreover, the perception of sound waves depends on the health of an individual's ears, which decays with age. The health of one's ears may also be affected by regular exposure to loud noises.
The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency and the pressure amplitude of the source. Two sounds of the same frequency...

Sound Waves: Interference
Sound waves can be modeled either as longitudinal waves, wherein the molecules of the medium oscillate around an equilibrium position, or as pressure waves. When two identical waves from the same source superimpose on each other, the combination of two crests or two troughs results in amplitude reinforcement known as constructive interference. If two identical waves, that are initially in phase, become out of phase because of different path lengths, the combination of crests with troughs...
Sound Waves: Resonance
Resonance is produced depending on the boundary conditions imposed on a wave. Resonance can be produced in a string under tension with symmetrical boundary conditions (i.e., has a node at each end). A node is defined as a fixed point where the string does not move. The symmetrical boundary conditions result in some frequencies resonating and producing standing waves, while other frequencies interfere destructively. Sound waves can resonate in a hollow tube, and the frequencies of the sound...
Standing Electromagnetic Waves
Electromagnetic waves can be reflected; the surface of a conductor or a dielectric can act as a reflector. As electric and magnetic fields obey the superposition principle, so do electromagnetic waves. The superposition of an incident wave and a reflected electromagnetic wave produces a standing wave analogous to the standing waves created on a stretched string.

Sound as Pressure Waves
Sound waves, which are longitudinal waves, can be modeled as the displacement amplitude varying as a function of the spatial and temporal coordinates. As a column of the medium is displaced, its successive columns are also displaced. As the successive displacements differ relatively, a pressure difference with the surrounding pressure is created. The gauge pressure varies across the medium.
The pressure fluctuation depends on the difference in displacements between the successive points in the...
