    Diffraction is the change of a sound wave's propagation to avoid obstacles. According to Huygens ’ principle , when a sound wave is partially blocked by an obstacle, the remaining part that gets through acts as a source of secondary waves. [ 17 ]

  3. Diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction

    A diffraction pattern of a red laser beam projected onto a plate after passing through a small circular aperture in another plate. Diffraction is the deviation of waves from straight-line propagation due to an obstacle or through an aperture. The diffracting object or aperture effectively becomes a secondary source of the propagating wave.

  4. Diffusion (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_(acoustics)

    MLS Diffusor. Maximum length sequence based diffusors are made of strips of material with two different depths. The placement of these strips follows an MLS. The width of the strips is smaller than or equal to quarter the wavelength of the frequency where the maximum scattering effect is desired.

    With; used in very many musical directions, for example con allegrezza (with liveliness), con calma (calmly lit. ' with calm '); (see also col and colla) con dolcezza See dolce con sordina or con sordine (plural) With a mute, or with mutes. Frequently seen in music as (incorrect Italian) con sordino, or con sordini (plural). concerto

  6. Acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave

    An acoustic wave is a mechanical wave that transmits energy through the movements of atoms and molecules. Acoustic waves transmit through fluids in a longitudinal manner (movement of particles are parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave); in contrast to electromagnetic waves that transmit in transverse manner (movement of particles at a right angle to the direction of propagation ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

    Diffraction gratings can also be used to produce dispersive effects; these are often used in high-power laser amplifier systems. Recently, an alternative to prisms and gratings has been developed: chirped mirrors. These dielectric mirrors are coated so that different wavelengths have different penetration lengths, and therefore different group ...

  8. Musical acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_acoustics

    Musical acoustics or music acoustics is a multidisciplinary field that combines knowledge from physics, [1] [2] [3] psychophysics, [4] organology [5] (classification of the instruments), physiology, [6] music theory, [7] ethnomusicology, [8] signal processing and instrument building, [9] among other disciplines.

  9. Diffraction grating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_grating

    A blazed diffraction grating reflecting only the green portion of the spectrum from a room's fluorescent lighting. For a diffraction grating, the relationship between the grating spacing (i.e., the distance between adjacent grating grooves or slits), the angle of the wave (light) incidence to the grating, and the diffracted wave from the grating is known as the grating equation.
