Abstract
In considering the propagation of sound through fluid or elastic media (or light through optical media, or heat through materials, etc.), it is usual to first address the so-called “forward problem.” Specifically, one calculates the sound (light, heat) field assuming knowledge of both the medium properties and of the physics governing the radiation, propagation, diffusion, attenuation, etc. of the corresponding waves.
