Lecture 3: Ray calculations and interaction of sound with the seafloor

Course subject(s) 3. Ray calculations and interaction of sound with the seafloor

In this part of the third lecture the ray acoustics are discussed. You can read more about ray acoustics in chapter 3b of the reader.

Ray calculations

This lecture is about the interaction of sound with the seafloor. Using various equations one can calculate how the sound is being reflected by the seafloor. The physics of scattering will also be discussed, because the seafloor is not an ideal plane surface. Chapter 4 is downloadable in Readings
