Abstract

Many signals have wavefronts that are not planar. The simplest to analyze are the waves generated by a vibrating spherical surface. Although a vibrating sphere is not frequently encountered in practice, the ability to generate solutions for a variety of situations makes that configuration extremely useful, both for verifying numerical techniques and for exploring fundamental issues.

The theory of geometric acoustics, which is the topic of Chap. 11, applies at very high frequencies. According to it, using images to describe reflection from a locally reacting is a reasonable approximation.
