Sure. We can do it now. But since the wavelength of sound is in the

neighborhood of 620,000 times longer than the wavelength of light,

in order to focus sound into a beam as narrow as you can focus light,

you need a 'dish' that's 620,000 times bigger than the concave mirror

you could use for light.

The 100-inch Hooker telescope on Mt. Wilson has been used to focus laser

light onto the moon. To focus sound into the same size beam, you need a

dish about 978 miles across, with the souind source at its focus.

Just like so many other examples of technology, the science and the math

are bullet-proof and air-tight, and the only thing we're missing is the $$$ .

How can I achieve precise focus stacking using a focus rail?

To achieve precise focus stacking using a focus rail, follow these steps: Set up your camera on a stable surface. Attach the focus rail to your camera and adjust the distance between the camera and the subject. Use the focus rail to move the camera in small increments to capture multiple images at different focus points. Use photo editing software to combine the images into a single photo with sharp focus throughout.

How many objects can the human eye focus on at one time?

The human eye can focus on one object at a time, as it has a single point of focus. However, the brain can process multiple objects in the visual field simultaneously, allowing us to perceive a wide scene. This means we can detect and be aware of many objects around us, but sharp focus is limited to one at any given moment.

In your 1997 Dodge 1500 when the lights are changed from low to high beams the dash and gauge lights all go out why?

It could be one of two things: This is a factory setting to focus your attention on the road and not the dash. Possibly the high beams are drawing too much power from the alternator.
