For example, a string of a certain length would sound particularly harmonious with a string of twice the length (other factors being equal). In modern parlance, if a string sounds the note C when plucked, a string twice as long will sound a C an octave lower.

New kinds of transducers (generators and receivers of acoustic energy) were invented and put to use. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Definition">Definition</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Acoustics&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Definition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1237032888/mw-parser-output/.tmulti">.mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner{display:flex;flex-direction:column}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{display:flex;flex-direction:row;clear:left;flex-wrap:wrap;width:100%;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{margin:1px;float:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .theader{clear:both;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;align-self:center;background-color:transparent;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbcaption{background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-left{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-right{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-center{text-align:center}@media all and (max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbinner{width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:none!important;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{justify-content:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{float:none!important;max-width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle .thumbcaption{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow>.thumbcaption{text-align:center}}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}</style><div class="thumb tmulti tright"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:286px;max-width:286px"><div class="trow"><div class="theader" style="text-align:left/right/center"><a href="/wiki/Jay_Pritzker_Pavilion" title="Jay Pritzker Pavilion">Jay Pritzker Pavilion</a></div></div><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:180px;max-width:180px"><div class="thumbimage"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_from_stage.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_from_stage.JPG/178px-20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_from_stage.JPG" decoding="async" width="178" height="134" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_from_stage.JPG/267px-20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_from_stage.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_from_stage.JPG/356px-20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_from_stage.JPG 2x" data-file-width="3072" data-file-height="2304" /></a></span></div></div><div class="tsingle" style="width:102px;max-width:102px"><div class="thumbimage"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_speakers.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_speakers.JPG/100px-20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_speakers.JPG" decoding="async" width="100" height="133" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_speakers.JPG/150px-20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_speakers.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_speakers.JPG/200px-20070919_Pritzker_Pavilion_speakers.JPG 2x" data-file-width="2304" data-file-height="3072" /></a></span></div></div></div><div class="trow" style="display:flow-root"><div class="thumbcaption" style="text-align:left/right/center">At <a href="/wiki/Jay_Pritzker_Pavilion" title="Jay Pritzker Pavilion">Jay Pritzker Pavilion</a>, a <a href="/wiki/LARES" title="LARES">LARES</a> system is combined with a zoned <a href="/wiki/Sound_reinforcement_system" title="Sound reinforcement system">sound reinforcement system</a>, both suspended on an overhead steel trellis, to synthesize an indoor acoustic environment outdoors.</div></div></div></div> <p>Acoustics is defined by <a href="/wiki/ANSI/ASA_S1.1-2013" title="ANSI/ASA S1.1-2013">ANSI/ASA S1.1-2013</a> as "(a) Science of <a href="/wiki/Sound" title="Sound">sound</a>, including its production, transmission, and effects, including biological and psychological effects.

There are many kinds of cause, both natural and volitional. There are many kinds of transduction process that convert energy from some other form into sonic energy, producing a sound wave. There is one fundamental equation that describes sound wave propagation, the <a href="/wiki/Acoustic_wave_equation" title="Acoustic wave equation">acoustic wave equation</a>, but the phenomena that emerge from it are varied and often complex. The wave carries energy throughout the propagating medium. Eventually this energy is transduced again into other forms, in ways that again may be natural and/or volitionally contrived. The final effect may be purely physical or it may reach far into the biological or volitional domains. The five basic steps are found equally well whether we are talking about an <a href="/wiki/Earthquake" title="Earthquake">earthquake</a>, a submarine using sonar to locate its foe, or a band playing in a rock concert. </p><p>The central stage in the acoustical process is wave propagation. This falls within the domain of physical acoustics. In <a href="/wiki/Fluid" title="Fluid">fluids</a>, sound propagates primarily as a <a href="/wiki/Longitudinal_wave" title="Longitudinal wave">pressure wave</a>. In solids, mechanical waves can take many forms including <a href="/wiki/Longitudinal_waves" class="mw-redirect" title="Longitudinal waves">longitudinal waves</a>, <a href="/wiki/Transverse_waves" class="mw-redirect" title="Transverse waves">transverse waves</a> and <a href="/wiki/Surface_waves" class="mw-redirect" title="Surface waves">surface waves</a>. </p><p>Acoustics looks first at the pressure levels and frequencies in the sound wave and how the wave interacts with the environment.

If several <a href="/wiki/Transmission_medium" title="Transmission medium">media</a> are present, a <a href="/wiki/Refraction" title="Refraction">refraction</a> can also occur.

What we experience as "higher pitched" or "lower pitched" sounds are pressure vibrations having a higher or lower number of cycles per second. In a common technique of acoustic measurement, acoustic signals are sampled in time, and then presented in more meaningful forms such as octave bands or time frequency plots. Both of these popular methods are used to analyze sound and better understand the acoustic phenomenon. </p><p>The entire spectrum can be divided into three sections: audio, ultrasonic, and infrasonic. The audio range falls between 20 <a href="/wiki/Hertz" title="Hertz">Hz</a> and 20,000 Hz. This range is important because its frequencies can be detected by the human ear. This range has a number of applications, including speech communication and music. The ultrasonic range refers to the very high frequencies: 20,000 Hz and higher. This range has shorter wavelengths which allow better resolution in imaging technologies. Medical applications such as <a href="/wiki/Medical_ultrasonography" class="mw-redirect" title="Medical ultrasonography">ultrasonography</a> and elastography rely on the ultrasonic frequency range. On the other end of the spectrum, the lowest frequencies are known as the infrasonic range.
