How does the size between scatterers affect reflection?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on how the size and spacing of scatterers relative to the wavelength of sound waves influence reflection, particularly when scatterers are moving at different velocities. The original poster seeks clarification on the effects of these factors on the reflective beam. Participants encourage the poster to share prior research and specific areas of confusion to facilitate more targeted assistance. There is a correction regarding the educational level of the inquiry, indicating it is intended for undergraduate rather than postgraduate discussion. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of understanding the interaction between sound waves and scatterers in acoustic studies.

If a sound wave hits multiple scatterers spaced closer than the wavelength and moving fast
but at different velocities how is the reflective beam is affected?

Hi Tinaaaaaa, welcome to PF

You have marked your thread with an A tag for post graduate level education

So what research have you done so far on your question ?
So some links to the subject material that you have read and what parts of it you do not understand
Then hopefully people here will be able to help you

Hi I think I made a mistake. I think i meant it for undergraduate level education.
