Abstract
An overview of the fundamental concepts needed for an understanding of physical acoustics is provided. Basic derivations of the acoustic wave equation are presented for both fluids and solids. Fundamental wave concepts are discussed with an emphasis on the acoustic case. Discussions of different experiments and apparatus provide examples of how physical acoustics can be applied and of its diversity. Nonlinear acoustics is also described.
