The Physics of Sound

The book progresses logically, building from basic sound wave properties to complex phenomena, such as reflection and refraction, explaining their uses in architectural acoustics and sonar. Later chapters explore musical acoustics, detailing how instruments create sound and how our ears perceive it. The book also covers acoustic technology, including recording, reproduction, and noise control, before concluding with advanced topics like ultrasound in medical imaging. This approach offers a holistic view of sound, connecting theory with practical applications.
