The science of waves, subcategories include acoustic propagation, biomedical acoustics and nonlinear acoustics

Subcategories

• Acoustic applications
• Acoustic devices
• Acoustic emission - or AE, is wave generation that results from the rapid release of energy from structures subject to stress
• Acoustic noise
• Acoustic propagation
• Acoustic pulses
• Acoustic waves
• Acoustooptic effects - the diffraction of light by sound, based on the change of the refractive index of a medium due to the presence of sound waves in that medium
• Biomedical acoustics - the study of the use of sound, such as ultrasound technologies, for medical purposes
• Nonlinear acoustics - the study of loud amplitude sound waves, which are distorted as they travel
• Spectral shape
• Underwater acoustics - also known as hydroacoustics, the study of the propagation of sound in water and of the interaction of sound waves with the water and its boundaries
