WHY DO WE HEAR STRANGE NOISES WHEN A METEOR PASSES?

Sky-選挙立会人s over the years have 報告（する）／憶測d 審理，公聴会 strange popping, hissing, and rustling sounds almost 即時に when a meteor passes 総計費.

While it may not seem unusual that a 飛行機で行くing fireball would 生成する noise, these 反対するs are 概略で 60 miles away when they can be seen from the ground, and the sound should take several minutes to travel.

Now, 研究員s have discovered that the 有望な pulses of light can create audible sounds far away from the source by heating ‘dielectric’ 構成要素s ? 含むing 着せる／賦与するing, leaves, and even frizzy hair.?

The sounds, they explain, must be the result of electromagnetic energy from the meteor that has travelled to the テレビ視聴者 miles away, and been 変えるd to acoustic waves.

構成要素s known as 'dielectric transducers' are all around us and could 容易にする the 現象.

This 含むs dark paint, 罰金 hair, leaves, grass, and dark 着せる／賦与するing.

有望な pulses of light from the meteor heat these 構成要素s, which subsequently 行為／行う heat into the 空気／公表する around.

This creates 圧力 waves, which can then manifest as photoacoustic sound.
