Spirals and labyrinth patterns in BZ reaction
Action of incoherent light:
A spiral wave forms in the upper half
of the same reactor, which is in the
dark
A labyrinthine standing-wave pattern
forms in the lower half of the
reactor, which is illuminated with light
pulsed at twice the natural frequency
of the reaction
Chemical waves in the BZ reaction. Top: target patterns in a thin film of reagent (1.5 mm). Bottom: spiral waves in reagent similar to above
except less acidic. Both sequences from left to right are at 60 s intervals. Reprinted with permission from: Winfree, A. T. Prog. Theor. Chem.
