Abstract

Now that we have identified the significant properties of an acoustic signal we may address two fundamental questions: How was the signal generated at its source? How was the signal modified as it traveled from its source to the location where it was observed? These questions often are closely related. Generation of sound is usually associated with oscillation of another medium that shares a surface with the fluid in which the sound is observed.

His name is John William Strutt, third Baron Lord Rayleigh. The numerous references herein are a small sample of his significant contributions to acoustics. He also was a pioneer in optics, and won the Nobel Prize in 1924 as the codiscoverer of argon.

The case where movement of the boundary is significant requires consideration of nonlinear effects. This issue is discussed in Chap. 13.
