May 2nd 2PM: Frequency Dependence: wave imaging open working group

... Polaroid film can be employed to map the fields directly in less
than five minutes. The method is both convenient and inexpensive. The
intensity of a field can be measured by simply holding the film in the
path of the waves.

[Keigo Iizuka]

Inspired by the work of professor Keigo Iizuka in the late 1960s,
Saturday's open working group will explore photographic imaging of the
fields of both ultrasonic waves and microwaves. A variety of wave
generating setups will be used with super-cooled, pre-exposed film in
an experimental attempt to record wave patterns of frequency dependent
phenomena. Participants are welcome to bring sources of both
microwaves (eg. wireless card with antenna) and ultrasonics.
