Acoustic attenuation 1970-01-01
Acoustic attenuation refers to the reduction in the intensity of sound waves as they propagate through a medium. This attenuation can occur due to various factors, including: 1. **Absorption**: When sound waves pass through a material, some of their energy is converted to heat, reducing the sound's intensity. Different materials absorb sound differently, with some exhibiting high attenuation (e.g., soft fabrics) and others exhibiting low attenuation (e.g., concrete).
Acoustic holography 1970-01-01
Acoustic holography is a technique used to visualize sound fields and analyze acoustic phenomena by capturing and interpreting the sound field information in a way similar to how optical holography works. It involves measuring acoustic waves emitted from a source and reconstructing a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the sound field.
