Acoustics

Acoustics is a branch of physics and is the study of sound, mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids. A scientist who works in the field of acoustics is an acoustician. The application of acoustics in technology is called acoustical engineering. There is often much overlap and interaction between the interests of acousticians and acoustical engineers.

Rectangular boxes

• f = frequency of standing wave of a rectangular box
• s = speed of sound in air
• x, y, z = dimensions of box
• N_x, N_y, N_z = any integers

:f = (s/2)(sqrt{(N_x/x)^2+(N_y/y)^2+(N_z/z)^2})
