Can heat behave like sound? The scientist has not only found this strange question to be happening but has also made a picture of it. Scientists have found that in certain states of matter, heat behaves like sound and pushes energy back and forth. They call this process second sound. But in a recent new achievement he has acquired the picture of this second voice.
The pictures show that heat in a superfluid can travel back and forth like sound waves. Superfluid is a state of matter where atoms can flow without any obstruction or friction. Physicists have found that heat and matter can collide with each other and create vibrations like sound waves.
Richard Fletcher, author of the study and Professor of Physics at MIT, says that it is as if half of the water tank is boiling. The water on one side seems cool and the water on the other side seems hot. Heat goes back and forth while water seems still

Based on the study published in Science, scientists say that with this the behavior of heat in superfluid can be understood and the behavior of superconductors etc. can also be understood. In high-temperature superconductors, neutrons in neutron stars, etc., there is a connection between the electrons and a gas millions of times thinner than air.
The scientist extremely cooled the atoms of Lithium-6 and applied a magnetic field on it, due to which the atoms paired up and created a superfluid. Then by inserting a laser beam they tried to capture the patterns of heat. From this he found that heat was behaving like sound waves. The interesting thing is that during this entire incident, heat had no connection with the activity of matter. Whereas in normal sound, heat and matter move equally. Scientists call this behavior of heat second sound.
