This undergraduate-level text opens with an overview of fundamental particle vibration theory, and it proceeds to examinations of waves in air and in three dimensions, interference patterns and diffraction, and acoustic impedance, as illustrated in the behavior of horns. Supplementary sections include four appendixes and answers to problems. 1951 edition.
Unabridged republication of the edition published by Addison-Wesley Press, Inc., Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1951.
