  2. Acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustics

    Acoustics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including topics such as vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound. A scientist who works in the field of acoustics is an acoustician while someone working in the field of acoustics technology may be called an acoustical engineer .

  3. Outline of acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_acoustics

    Acoustics – interdisciplinary science that deals with the study of all mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including topics such as vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound. A scientist who works in the field of acoustics is an acoustician while someone working in the field of acoustics technology may be called an acoustical ...

  4. Physical acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_acoustics

    Physical acoustics is the area of acoustics and physics that studies interactions of acoustic waves with a gaseous, liquid or solid medium on macro- and micro-levels. This relates to the interaction of sound with thermal waves in crystals (), with light (), with electrons in metals and semiconductors (acousto-electric phenomena), with magnetic excitations in ferromagnetic crystals (), etc.

  5. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    Acoustics is the interdisciplinary science that deals with the study of mechanical waves in gasses, liquids, and solids including vibration, sound, ultrasound, and infrasound. A scientist who works in the field of acoustics is an acoustician , while someone working in the field of acoustical engineering may be called an acoustical engineer . [ 3 ]

  7. Acoustic theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_theory

    Acoustic theory is a scientific field that relates to the description of sound waves.It derives from fluid dynamics.See acoustics for the engineering approach.. For sound waves of any magnitude of a disturbance in velocity, pressure, and density we have

  8. Musical acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_acoustics

    Musical acoustics or music acoustics is a multidisciplinary field that combines knowledge from physics, [1] [2] [3] psychophysics, [4] organology [5] (classification of the instruments), physiology, [6] music theory, [7] ethnomusicology, [8] signal processing and instrument building, [9] among other disciplines.

  9. Acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave

    An acoustic wave is a mechanical wave that transmits energy through the movements of atoms and molecules. Acoustic waves transmit through fluids in a longitudinal manner (movement of particles are parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave); in contrast to electromagnetic waves that transmit in transverse manner (movement of particles at a right angle to the direction of propagation ...
