Description

"This experiment investigates the surface ultrasonic properties of five different materials, primarily Aluminium. Using theory, it
is determined which mode of bulk acoustic wave (longitudinal or shear) gives rise the surface (Rayleigh) acoustic waves.
For aluminium, the wavelength of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) is determined by experiment. From this and the measured
SAW velocity, the frequency of the SAW is calculated."

David.R.Gilson, 1998

Acoustics is the interdisciplinary science that deals with the study of sound, ultrasound and infrasound (all mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids). A scientist who works in the field of acoustics is an acoustician. The application of acoustics in technology is called acoustical engineering. There is often much overlap and interaction between the interests of acousticians and acoustical engineers.{{http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3555/3...}}
