Students explore sound waves. In this sound wave lesson, students determine the path traveled by sound waves in an acoustic room. Students consider how sound travels and reflects, then they calculate the rate sound travels at.

Students perform a series of tasks that integrate hands-on inquiry-based activities with the Internet to explore sound and acoustics. They develop an acoustics Web page to show what they have learned.

Home page for a hypertext physics course on auditorium acoustics and acoustical design.

A physics tutorial on designing an auditorium and solving the problem of sound reflection. Illustrated.

This hypertext physics course tutorial on nonfocusing surfaces relates various design principles to good auditorium design. Illustrated.

Information about the interference of sound and its causes. Well-illustrated and good explanations of the concepts; part of a large hyper-textbook on various physics concepts.

An indexing page for an elaborate and in-depth hyper-textbook on various physics topics. This page indexes several others which pertain to human ability to perceive sound and recognize pitch. Introduces and explains Place Theory.

This page and the many pages which are indexed to focus on the behaviors of sound which characterize it as a wave. Reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction and more are clearly illustrated and explained.

A tutorial from a hypertext physics course book that discusses reverberation. Illustrated.

This site's entry is a discussion of diffraction and its application to acoustics and acoustical design. Exceptional illustrations and great discussion throughout.

A discussion of refraction and its application to sound waves. Using analogies, graphics and real-life applications, this page and those that accompany it explain why and when sound waves bend.

This site gives a listing of CD's that have been recorded on organs throughout the world which are connected to Silbermann. Each CD listed has a description of the organ which is very interesting.
