Sentences with phrase «create acoustic waves»

So as you scan the tendon with laser that has very short, but high - energy pulses, you continually create acoustic waves that propagate in all directions throughout the tissue, releasing growth factors as you go.

They were also able to distinguish between seismic and acoustic events on the networks, which can be helpful in determining whether the detected signals represent subsurface movement at a volcano or surface explosions that create acoustic waves.
