Abstract

If a sound wave with a sound power Pi, a sound pressure pi, a sound particle velocity vi and a frequency f impinges on an obstacle which is large compared to its wavelength l, it is partially reflected (Pr) (and possibly diffracted and scattered), allowed to pass through (Pt), transmitted as structure-borne sound (Pf), as well as absorbed (Pa), see Fig. 3.1.
