Acoustics
Acoustics is the interdisciplinary science that deals with the study of all
mechanical in
gases,
liquids,
and
solids
including
topics
such
as
vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound. A scientist who works in the field of
acoustics is an acoustician while someone working in the field of acoustics
technology may be called an acoustical engineer. The application of acoustics is
present in almost all aspects of modern society with the most obvious being the
audio and noise control industries.
Hearing is one of the most crucial means of survival in the animal world,
and speech is one of the most distinctive characteristics of human development
and culture. Accordingly, the science of acoustics spreads across many facets of
human societymusic, medicine, architecture, industrial production, warfare and
more. Likewise, animal species such as songbirds and frogs use sound and hearing
as a key element of mating rituals or marking territories. Art, craft, science and
technology have provoked one another to advance the whole, as in many other
