- javajosh 2y agoCool. Also may be useful to read Zel'dovich's second paper on the phenomena. http://jetp.ras.ru/cgi-bin/dn/e_035_06_1085.pdf http://jetp.ras.ru/cgi-bin/dn/e_035_06_1085.pdf Interestingly, in his paragraph about previous work, he did not mention Yarkovsky: "According to a remark by P. L. Kapitza, the effect is analogous to amplification of sound by reflection from a resting-medium boundary that moves with supersonic velocity... In the case of plasma waves, a similar effect was considered recently by Ostrovskil. Mention can also be made of earlier studies dealing with the motion of a conducting liquid in a resonator or the motion of carriers in the interior of an elastic piezoelectric or over its surface."
