(The static mid-point of that precise new wavelength will be the central node of the music string).

To be brutally honest, I'm running out of ways to describe this very simple idea.
Click the backwards clock any time you want to go back to the beginning.
If it were possible to generate two sonoluminescence bubble collapse events synchronously, then their linear separation would constitute a discrete wavelength of electro-magnetic radiation.
You may see the elephants dance here
but before you do that, you might try strumming the bubbles (below).
You'll have to scroll down the page to find them. They can be a little distracting.
Positioning your mouse over any of the bubbles will change the image.
Try "strumming" the string of bubbles with your mouse by gently moving sideways.
No matter at what speed you sweep through them, and whatever pattern you play, you'll leave a trail
and they'll always follow;
but unlike ripples on a pond, these ripples just keep on going:
so just tickle away...
(If you click any of the bubbles you'll be taken back to the top of the page:)
