Turning X Rays On Sound and Gas Velocity Changes
Theoretical gas laws from Boltzmann and Maxwell imply sound speeds in gases, with oxygen showing anomalies due to neutral ionization. Kupper studies ionizers on sound velocity in gases. X rays raise sound speed in air oxygen and nitrogen, ultraviolet light reduces speed in oxygen, and increases occur in nitrogen and hydrogen though less than with X rays. Radium rays have no effect, nor do alternating electric fields.
