How does the size between scatterers affect reflection?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the impact of scatterer size and spacing on sound wave reflection, specifically when scatterers are closer than the wavelength and moving at different velocities. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the underlying physics and encourage sharing of prior research to facilitate deeper discussions. The initial poster mistakenly categorized the inquiry as postgraduate level, later correcting it to undergraduate level, indicating a need for foundational knowledge in wave behavior and scattering principles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of sound wave propagation
  • Familiarity with scattering theory
  • Knowledge of wave-particle interactions
  • Basic principles of reflection and refraction
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of wave scattering and its mathematical models
  • Study the effects of particle size on sound wave reflection
  • Explore the relationship between velocity of scatterers and wave behavior
  • Investigate experimental methods for measuring sound wave reflection in various media
USEFUL FOR

Students and researchers in acoustics, physicists studying wave phenomena, and anyone interested in the effects of scatterers on sound wave behavior.

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.
