Concealment depends on light waves oscillating in the same direction, an effect that spoils most practical applications.

Incoming light, as an oscillating electric and magnetic field, strikes the silver nanoparticles, which also oscillates the metal's free electrons back and forth.

These oscillating electrons, known as surface plasmons, reradiate light into the underlying silicon, which increases light absorption into the cell.

In other words, light waves hit a structure and are deflected, but continue to oscillate without their pattern of crests and troughs being distorted or interrupted in any way.

Electromagnetism demonstrates that light is composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

«Light is an oscillating field like a wave, and a wave moves in a certain direction,» Lupton says.

We therefore need light that oscillates much faster, i.e. with shorter wavelengths.

As soon as the atoms «feel» the electromagnetic wave of the light, their electrons start to oscillate.

Generating laser light at such a small scale is possible because of localized surface plasmons, sets of electrons that collectively oscillate as one from within the narrow gap between the triangles.

Simultaneously, they irradiated the glass particles with an intense light field, which interacted with the electrons for a few femtoseconds (millionths of a billionth of a second), causing them to oscillate.

This involves a light particle (photon) exciting the electron cloud of a gold nanoparticle so that it starts oscillating.

The diameters of the thinnest cables, however, are in the micrometer range, as the light waves — with a wavelength of around one micrometer — must be able to oscillate unhindered.

These electrons oscillate at the same frequency as the incident light, which gives rise to the reflected wave.

Each laser generates two frequencies of light, which are tuned until the atoms oscillate between two energy states and stop absorbing light.

The individual waves were still oscillating quickly but they were oscillating at the same frequency in opposite directions, meaning at certain points they canceled each other out and other points they added together, creating an all light or all dark pattern.

«The oscillating electrical field in the incoming light wave produces a force on the charges inside the mirror.

Light, however, oscillates 10,000 times faster than the speed of the fastest available oscilloscopes.

If you shine light on these nanostructures, the surface electrons start oscillating at a specific frequency.

The dipole can be made to vibrate by the oscillating electric field in light, which makes the dipole emit its own light, according to the theory of electromagnetism.

In this situation, the light also oscillates along its propagation direction (longitudinal).

During the course of the laser pulse, the electric field of the light wave oscillates about a dozen times.

«Linearly polarized light means an alternating current electric field that is always oscillating in one direction,» Kono said.

Light then prompted them to oscillate very quickly between the walls.

Not long after, the oscillating fan came into play, fastened with its own light.

For example, at the red light when idling and without touching the gas pedal, the engine in some cases starts «hunting», oscillating between the usual minimum rpm and an higher value like I was giving rpetitive pushes to the pedal, or, more frequently, the engine start keeping a quite high rpm (I estimate 2000 - 3000 rpm), VERY constant, before dropping back to normal.

The laser light waves oscillate at 450 nanometers and put out 1200 lumens, good for 500 meters — or well over a quarter - mile — of night vision.

These new paintings are based on the artist's series of hundreds of computer - generated drawings created in homage to the exchange between artist and poet Brion Gysin (1916 — 1986) and writer William S. Burroughs (1914 — 1997) surrounding Gysin's «dream machine,» a device built by Ian Somerville in the late 1950s that uses oscillating light frequencies to stimulate the optical nerves while the viewer's eyes are closed.

That exhibition thematized the relationship between Liu's paintings and his three - dimensional sculptural forms via explicit formal echoes: Black - and - white geometric paintings were adroitly paired with rectilinear pseudotopiary sculptures in which bands of foliage were interspersed with horizontal neon lights, while the oscillating static playing on stacked TV sets chimed with the abstract canvases as well.

In Surplus of Light, Karen Spector situates the viewer in an endless video loop that taps into and oscillates from a national post-9 / 11 fear and insecurity, to a ridiculous feeling of lavishness, abundance, and wealth (found in the extravagant display of fireworks), to a looming uncertainty questioning and undermining American monumentalism and ballsy patriotism.
