It is also possible to detect resonance phenomena in bulk samples of materials. Let us consider the case of a material composed of atoms of total angular momentum one-half.

Level 4 is chosen so that it has a fast decay to level 3, and pumping between levels 1 and 4 immediately produces a population inversion between levels 3 and 2.

When you work your way into acoustics, you will usually start with the phenomenon of hearing. Actually, the term acoustics is derived from the Greek verb ακoυ²ιν ´ [ak´uIn], which means to hear. We thus start with the following definition.

Acoustics is a very old science. Pythagoras already knew, around 500 BC, of the quantitative relationship between the length of a string and the pitch of its accompanying auditory event. In 1643, Torricelli demonstrated the vacuum experimentally and showed that there is no sound propagation in it. At the end of the 19t... | {

In order to derive some illustrative numerical examples, we consider a plane wave in air³.

As shown above, the range of sound pressures that must be handled in acoustics is at least 1 : 10,000,000, which is 1 : 10<sup>7</sup> .

Three elements are required to form a simple mechanic oscillator, and they include a mass, a spring and a fluidic damper (dashpot) – shown in Fig. 2.1.

In this section we deal with the special case in which the oscillator is in a position away from its resting position, and the introduced force is set to zero, that is F(t) = 0 for t > 0. The differential equation (2.13) then converts into a homogenous differential equation as follows,

The exciting force was zero for free oscillations, but we will now consider the case where the oscillator is driven by an ongoing sinusoidal force, F(t) = Fˆ cos(ωt + φ), with frequency f = ω/2π.

To derive the energies and losses in the elements from which the oscillator is built, (2.13) is at first multiplied with v(t) to arrive at what is called instantaneous power, namely
$$P(t) = F(t) \ v(t) = m \frac{dv}{dt} v(t) + r v^{2}(t) + \frac{1}{n} v(t) \int \underbrace{v(t) dt}_{dt} . \tag{2.31}$$

#### The Inner Transducer
Consider a rod-shaped conductor exposed to a stationary magnetic field, −→<sup>B</sup> – drawn in Fig. 5.2. If an electric current, i, passes through this conductor, a force, −→<sup>F</sup> , will act on it according to the expression

#### Dynamic Loudspeakers
The dynamic loudspeaker, illustrated in Fig. 5.4, is arguably the most important magnetodynamic sound emitter.

Ribbon microphones can also be built to form spherical or cardioid receivers by positioning an acoustic sink to one side of the ribbon. Ribbon microphones are rare today but sometimes irreplaceable. Trumpet sounds in studios, for instance, are often picked up with these microphones since they are difficult to overloa... | {

#### The Inner Transducer
Figure 5.12 illustrates the fundamental arrangement for the inner-transducer principle.

To derive the transducer equation, we must compute the force on the movable armature. This is done by imagining a small ... | {

Electromagnetic transducers can be built to be very small and very efficient, but, because of their intrinsically quadratic force law, nonlinear distortions are harder to manage than with magnetodynamic transducers. Examples of traditional applications include telephone-receiver capsules, miniature microphones for hear... | {

Rods made of ferromagnetic material experience a variation of their lengths when exposed to magnetic fields. The effect can be conceptualized by considering the distances between the molecules as forming a fictive air gap. This model leads to the same transducer equations as derived for the electromagnetic transducer. ... | {

Magnetostrictive transducers have a very high mechanic impedance, which makes them well-suited to underwater and/or ultrasound applications. This type of transducer may achieve efficiencies of more than 90 % when used in water at ultrasound frequencies. Sometimes pre-magnetization is not applied when this principle is ... | {
