E M 451: Engineering Acoustics
(Cross-listed with E E, M E). (2-2) Cr. 3. Alt. F., offered even-numbered years.
Prereq: (MATH 266 or MATH 267); PHYS 231; PHYS 231L
The basics of acoustic wave propagation in fluids with an emphasis on sound propagation in air. Topics include transmission and reflection of sound at a boundary; role of acoustic sources in directing sound fields; diffraction of sound around solid objects; reverberation of sound in a room; and the measurement of sound fields.
