  2. Sound power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_power

    TL. v. t. e. Sound power or acoustic power is the rate at which sound energy is emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit time. [1] It is defined [2] as "through a surface, the product of the sound pressure, and the component of the particle velocity, at a point on the surface in the direction normal to the surface, integrated over ...

  3. Angular resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_resolution

    Angular resolution. A series of images representing the magnification of M87* with an angular size of some microarcseconds, comparable to viewing a tennis ball on the Moon (magnification from top left corner counter−clockwise to the top right corner). Angular resolution describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or ...

  4. Acoustic wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave_equation

    Acoustic wave equation. In physics, the acoustic wave equation is a second-order partial differential equation that governs the propagation of acoustic waves through a material medium resp. a standing wavefield. The equation describes the evolution of acoustic pressure p or particle velocity u as a function of position x and time t.

  5. Resolving power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolving_power

    Resolving power is the capacity of an instrument to resolve two points which are close together. Specifically, resolving power may refer to: Angular resolution;

  6. Sound intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_intensity

    Sound intensity, also known as acoustic intensity, is defined as the power carried by sound waves per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area. The SI unit of intensity, which includes sound intensity, is the watt per square meter (W/m 2). One application is the noise measurement of sound intensity in the air at a listener's location ...

  7. Spectral resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_resolution

    The spectral resolution of a spectrograph, or, more generally, of a frequency spectrum, is a measure of its ability to resolve features in the electromagnetic spectrum.It is usually denoted by , and is closely related to the resolving power of the spectrograph, defined as =, where is the smallest difference in wavelengths that can be distinguished at a wavelength of .

  8. Sound energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_energy

    Sound energy. In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual. Sound waves that have frequencies below 16 Hz are called infrasonic and those ...
