Hi:

Is it possible for a phonon that 10^10,000 Hz [thats
10-to-the-power-10,000 hz; or 10 followed by 10,000 zeros] to exist in
Earth's atmosphere?


Thanks,

what tha fok is a phonon, a sound particle?

i suppose that in upper atmosphere sounds propagate
very hard, regardless their frequencies

whay so many zeros?

Yes.

I am trying to test the limits of ultrasound. I've read claims that
there is no upper limit to the highest-possible frequency of sound.

I suppose this means it is physically-possible to have an acoustic
pure-sine-wave tone that is 140 dB and
10^1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000... <insert infinite number of
zeros>... 000,000,000,000,000 Hz in any environment with air?

then you need a hard piezoelectric material, thay goes up
to gigahertz, if thay vibrate at higher frequencies than they
may loose some electrons or atoms, large scale damage
may occure

lets hear what relativity has to say about it

Spewing idiot.

A simple web search produces:

In physics, a phonon is a quantized mode of vibration occurring in a
rigid crystal lattice, such as the atomic lattice of a solid.

Since the Earth's atmosphere is not a crystal lattice, your question
is meaningless.

a hf vibrating atom loose an electron to the neighboor atom etc

Really? I suggest you think about such things such as

viscosity of the medium

upper limits for source vibration....

you are right, is not about the speed of sound

correct, so tha question still make sense

at higher atmosphere the viscosity is very low
to zero, so vhf sounds may propagate

What could create a vibration that quickly without incurring

That frequency involves vibrations 10^-10000 of a second.

How far does light travel in that time?
Compare to the planck length.

i don know man, im just speculatin

tha problem i see is tha amplitude, if enuff then it might
propagate

the highest amplitude i hear is the amplitude of muons,
so is again about their speeds

strange,

the muons thro the atmosphere may produce a vhf sound
wave, we need a device to detect it

You are confusing sound with EM radiation

The upper limit to sound in the earth's atmosphere is around 10^9 hz. As
it gets more rareified, that isn't going to get higher, it gets lower.

I'm actually four orders of magnitude out. Seems I should have used my
calculator

http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/sj/393/part1/gerasimov.html

About sound. Sound is radiant energy transmitted in longitudinal waves
that consist of alternating compressions and rarefactions in a medium.
The maximum possible frequency of sound in any medium is approximately
1.25 癬 1013 Hertz (Hz). The speed of sound depends on properties of the
material through which it travels (see Table 1). Sound has propagation
features quite different from that of light, which makes it an excellent
alternative in situations where light does not work well.

no at all, give the air molecules enuff amplitude
then the sound might propagate

wrong,
the allowed propagating frequencies by the system will
increase when you go toward vacum

dont be a fool, in order to displace the rare air moleculers you only
need higher amplitude, there will be less viscosity damping the
higher frequencies

Speed of light?

So you are now saying a vacuum is a perfect medium to transfer sound?

Vibration = Movement

Air molecules need to move to BUMP into each other to transfer sound

take a medium with 1m appart air molecules in equilibrum,
give them a 1.2m displacement amplitude then a sound will propagate

less viscosity implies less hf damping for displacement frequencies

do it for your self fool

wahaha my dick, tha fool and his friend, pretending knowin
physics and relativity thinks it is not possible because the
speed of light limit

tha air molecule will experience length contraction you fool,
there are no problems with that, even my little sister knows

Length contraction doesn't help you here.

Ah. I'm arguing with a retard. I should have guessed by the utter lack
of physics, the complete illiteracy and the inability to use a web
browser.

Never mind read this. Perhaps someone can help you with the difficult
words.

About sound. Sound is radiant energy transmitted in longitudinal waves
that consist of alternating compressions and rarefactions in a medium.

The maximum possible frequency of sound in any medium is approximately

1.25 A~ 1013 Hertz (Hz). The speed of sound depends on properties of the

are you saying that tha speed light limits the frequencies?

I never said that - I said there was a FUNDAMENTAL upper limit as sound
is a pressure wave. The actual limit is lower then this.

If you could read and write basic english you would understand this.

VIbration = movement

Considering you don't even understand SR/GR as made obvious by your
illiterate rants in SPR, I don't expect you to understand how a limiting
velocity would affect frequency.

Ok, define "sound particle".
1) a click
2) a tick
3) a tock
4) a clock
5) something else?

That's a click. We get those from lightning strikes.

What is the amplitude of a phonon?

Tough question, a lightning click becomes rumbling thunder.

What is the speed of a phonon?

What is the direction of a phonon?

Androcles.

A phonon cannot propagate in a fluid medium in which the mean free path
(the average distance that a molecule of the fluid can travel before
encountering another particle) is longer than the wavelength of the
phonon.

For air the mean free path is about 7x10^-6 cm (longer for lower
pressures).

For phonons the speed of sound in air is about 300 meters/second.

Can you calculate the frequency of a hypothetical phonon in air with a
wavelength of 7x10^-6 cm?

For practical applications, the phonons will be required to carry
without dissipation for some distance, so the *useful* frequencies of
sound in air will be much lower.

Here in article "1.25 A~ 1013 Hertz (Hz)." actually means
1.25 * 10^13, much more that 1000 Hz, very bad conversion created much
unneeded confusion. I myself think that 10^13 is much to large frequency
to propagate through air.

At last something resembling physics. I would advice, however, to
calculate "the frequency of a hypothetical phonon in air with a
> wavelength of 7x10^-6 cm?" also, you cannot rely on any intellect /

Not really. Practically, up around 8 MHz or so sound won't travel more
than a inch or two at the very most before various factors makes it
fall apart which is why high frequeny ultrsound is usually used in a
liquid medium where there may actually be no limit to the ffrequency
moving through it. Notice I said "may" not be a limit.
