acoustics

     

Acoustics is the interisciplinary science that deals with the study of sound, ultrasound and infrasound (all mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids). A scientist who works in the field of acoustics is an acoustician. The application of acoustics in technology is called acoustical engineering. There is often much overlap and interaction between the interests of acousticians and acoustical engineers.

Trivia about acoustics

  • Concert hall designers study the architectural branch of this science of sound
  • This field is the study of the properties & production of sound
  • From Greek for "to hear", it's the branch of physics that includes how sounds bounce around in a hall
  • (Kelly of the Clue Crew reports from inside the Opera House in Sydney, Australia.) To compensate for the high ceilings in the concert hall, acrylic rings were hung to reflect the sound of the instruments back to the orchestra & to improve this, from the Greek for "to hear"
  • Our studio has great these, also the branch of physics that deals with sound & sound waves
  • ( Jon of the Clue Crew reports from the University of Mississippi. ) Focused ultrasound waves are propelling the water here at Ol' Miss's cutting edge NCPA -- National Center for Physical these
