flections from Flat Surfaces

the light/mirror analogy, the reflected wavefronts act as thou

originated from a sound image. This image source is located
e distance behind the wall as the real source is in front of the
is the simple casea single reflecting surface. In a rectangu
m, there are six surfaces and the source has an image in all s
ing energy back to the receiver.

Reflections from Convex

Surfaces
Spherical wavefronts from a point source tend to
become plane waves at greater distance from the
source. For this reason impinging sound on the
various surfaces to be considered will be thought of
as plane wavefronts. Reflection of plane wavefronts
of sound from a solid convex surface tends to
scatter the sound energy in many directions. This
amounts to a diffusion of the impinging sound.

Concave

Plane wavefronts of sound striking a concave surface

tend to be focussed to a point. The precision with which
sound is focussed to a point is determined by the shape
of the concave surface. Spherical concave surfaces are
common because they are readily formed. They are
often used to make a microphone highly directional by
placing it at the focal point. In the early days of
broadcasting sporting events in Hong Kong, a
resourceful technician saved the day by using an
ordinary Chinese wok, or cooking pan, as a reflector.
Concave surfaces in churches or auditoriums can be the
source of serious problems as they produce
concentrations
of sound in direct LECTURE
