acoustic wave field
1Wave field synthesis — (WFS) is a spatial audio rendering technique, characterized by creation of virtual acoustic environments. It produces artificial wave fronts synthesized by a large number of individually driven speakers. Such wave fronts seem to originate from a… …
2Ion acoustic wave — An ion acoustic wave is a longitudinal oscillation of the ions (and the electrons) much like acoustic waves traveling in neutral gas. However, because the waves propagate through positively charged ions, ion acoustic waves can interact with their …
3Acoustic microscopy — Introduction = Acoustic microscopes employ very high or ultra high frequency ultrasound. These microscopes operate nondestructively and penetrate most solid materials to make visible images of internal features, including defects such as cracks,… …
4Acoustic theory — is the field relating to mathematical description of sound waves. It is derived from fluid dynamics. See acoustics for the engineering approach.The propagation of sound waves in a fluid (such as air) can be modeled by an equation of motion… …
5Acoustic holography — is a method used to estimate the sound field near a source by measuring acoustic parameters away from the source via an array of pressure and/or particle velocity transducers. Measuring techniques included within acoustic holography are becoming… …
6Acoustic impedance — The acoustic impedance Z (or sound impedance) is a frequency f dependent parameter and is very useful, for example, for describing the behaviour of musical wind instruments. Mathematically, it is the sound pressure p divided by the particle… …
7Acoustic approximation — A fundamental principle in the field of acoustics, the acoustic approximation states that an acoustic wave is created by a small pressure ripple riding on a comparatively large equilibrium (bias) pressure. Typically, the acoustic pressure is on… …
8Acoustic levitation — is a method for suspending matter in a medium by using acoustic radiation pressure from intense sound waves in the medium. Acoustic levitation is possible because of the non linear effects of intense sound waves. [Cite web… …
9Acoustic streaming — is a steady current forced by the absorption of high amplitude acoustic oscillations.This phenomenon can be observed near sound emitters, or in the standing waves within a Kundt s tube.It is the less known opposite of sound generation by a… …
10Wave — A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy. While a mechanical wave exists in a medium (which on deformation is capable of producing elastic restoring forces), waves of electromagnetic… …
