http://asa.aip.org/acou_and_you.htmlThe field of acoustics, because it is so diverse, offers many different career opportunities.Q: What do all of these people have in common?
A: Their work deals with ACOUSTICS.
Acoustics is the science of sound. It relates to recorded music,
to speech and hearing, to the behavior of sound in concert halls
and buildings, and to noise in our environment. Sound waves are used in

Welcome to the Acoustic Scattering Laboratory at the
department. Our research focuses on the scattering of sound in the ocean by zooplankton (and other things such as turbulence).
Why would anyone care about this? Well, if you ever eat seafood, have enjoyed

Offers an animation of how high and low pressure waves make the eardrum vibrate along with information on how the journey of sound waves affects the brain.
Sound Waves and the Eardrum
A sound wave traveling through a fluid medium (such as a liquid or
a gaseous material) has a longitudinal nature. This means that the
particles of the medium vibrate in direction which is parallel (and
anti-parallel) to the direction which the sound wave travels. If
