🔊 Ultrasonic Standing-Wave Levitator (2D side view)

2D side view of an acoustic levitator: a 40 kHz standing wave between a transducer and a reflector traps a small bead at pressure nodes. Tune frequency, gap, drive and bead size and see forces, potential and resonance. Same Gor'kov kernel as the 3D page, with four numerical checks.
