Question

Sound waves and chromism?

Answer 1

I am somewhat familiar with the changes in color caused by agents such as heat, light or various chemical reactions, but what about sound waves? Is there such a thing as "sonochromism" as well?

To take this thought farther (and the real reason I'm asking) would it be possible to create paints or dyes that change color when bombarded by sounds of different intensities?

Answer 2

I am definitely not a physicist, but I have a question related to Physics so I thought I'd give it a try. Please excuse my ignorance. :)
