Presentation Transcript

  1. Acoustics • Acoustics is the interdisciplinary science that deals with the study of all mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound.

  2. Acoustics 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. Acoustics The application of acoustics can be seen in almost all aspects of modern society with the most obvious being the audio and noise control industries.

  4. Acoustics • Hearing is one of the most crucial means of survival in the animal world, and speech is one of the most distinctive characteristics of human development and culture.

  5. Acoustics • So it is no surprise that the science of acoustics spreads across so many facets of our society—music, medicine, architecture, industrial production, warfare and more.

  6. Acoustics • Art, craft, science and technology have provoked one another to advance the whole, as in many other fields of knowledge. Lindsay's 'Wheel of Acoustics' is a well accepted overview of the various fields in acoustics.

  7. Acoustics • The word "acoustic" is derived from the Greek word (akoustikos), meaning "of or for hearing, ready to hear" and that from (akoustos), "heard, audible", which in turn derives from the verb (akouo), "I hear".

  8. Acoustics • The Latin synonym is "sonic", after which the term sonics used to be a synonym for acoustics[5] and later a branch of acoustics.[6] Frequencies above and below the audible range are called "ultrasonic" and "infrasonic", respectively.

  9. Acoustics • Artificial omni-directional sound source in an anechoic chamber
