Paperback / softback
Description
John William Strutt, third Baron Rayleigh (1842–1919), was an English physicist best known as the co-discoverer of the element argon, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1904.
Rayleigh graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1865 and after conducting private research was appointed Cavendish Professor of Experimental Physics in 1879, a post which he held until 1884.
These highly influential volumes, first published between 1877 and 1878, contain Rayleigh's classic account of acoustic theory.
Bringing together contemporary research and his own experiments, Rayleigh clearly describes the origins and transmission of sound waves through different media.
This textbook was considered the standard work on the subject for many years and provided the foundations of modern acoustic theory.
Volume 2 discusses theories of aerial vibrations, with discussions of experimental procedures of aerial vibrations in tubes and rectangular chambers, and the theory of resonators.
