A recent experiment1 first demonstrated an acoustic time-reversal mirror ~TRM! in the ocean. A TRM2‚3 also referred to as the process of phase conjugation in the frequency domain‚4–8 focuses sound from a source–receive array ~SRA! back to the probe source ~PS! which ensonified the SRA. The SRA receives the probe-source field‚ time reverses it ~phase conjugation in the frequency domain!‚ and then uses the time-reversed data as the excitation for an array of sources which are collocated with

power is the ability to get someone to do something he or she would not otherwise do” Work-Energy PrincipleThe change in the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object.This fact is referred to as the Work-Energy Principle and is often a very useful tool in mechanics problem solving. It is derivable from conservation of energy and the application of the relationships for work and energy‚ so it is not independent of the conservation laws. It is in fact a specific application
