Abstract

An exact solution is presented for the sound field between two infinite walls when the source is a piston in one of the walls. A method is also outlined for the case of a source having any amplitude distribution which is a function only of radial distance from the center of the source. Several graphs are shown and they are intended to illustrate how the pressure on a receiving crystal would vary when the wall separation is changed.
