I Could vibration carry electricity or something else?

AI Thread Summary
Vibrations, defined as sound waves, can carry mechanical energy and can be converted into electrical energy. This conversion is exemplified in piezoelectric materials, which generate electricity when subjected to mechanical stress. The discussion raises the question of whether vibrations could transport electricity or have chemical implications. The movement of vibrations ceases when they dissipate or reach a boundary. Understanding these principles can lead to innovative applications in energy transfer and conversion.

A vibration moves along until it has moved too far or there is no other objects to travel to, so does that mean it could carry electricity or something chemistry related?

Welcome to PF.

A vibration is a sound wave. It can carry the mechanical energy of movement.
Mechanical vibration energy can be converted to and from electrical energy.

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Highway: Deriving speed from Doppler shift'

I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
