3. Sound fields Sound field: Any environment that contains sound Sound field: Any environment that contains sound Free field: Sound field without any reflections Free field: Sound field without any reflections Anechoic room: Artificial free field with no echoes Anechoic room: Artificial free field with no echoes Reverberant/echoic field: Sound field with reflections Reverberant/echoic field: Sound field with reflections Diffuse fields: Type of reverberant field with uniform sound intensity throughout the field. Diffuse fields: Type of reverberant field with uniform sound intensity throughout the field.

4. Sound propagation with distance in a free field I  1/(r 2), I  1/(r 2), where I is the intensity of the sound, P is the power of the sound at the source, and r is the distance from the source to the point of measurement.

5. Sound pressure and distance Sound pressure and distance p  1/r where p = sound pressure, r = distance from source where p = sound pressure, r = distance from source

6. Sound propagation with distance in a field with obstacles Impedance: Opposition to vibration Impedance: Opposition to vibration Two forms: Two forms: Reactance (X) Reactance (X) Resistance (R) Resistance (R) Remains same across frequencies Remains same across frequencies
