	Sound Radiation from Cylindrical Radiators
		The following animations illustrate the radiation of sound waves from a vibrating source in 2-D. The source is a long cylinder which is oscillating in the radial direction only (all vibrations along the length of the cylinder are ignored).
		The sound field of a dipole is the same as for two identical but opposite phase monopoles.
		The sound field of a quadrupole is the same as for two identical but opposite phase dipoles.

		Radiation that has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons, is referred to as "non-ionizing radiation." Examples of this kind of radiation are sound waves, visible light, and microwaves.
		This is the type of radiation that people usually think of as 'radiation.' We take advantage of its properties to generate electric power, to kill cancer cells, and in many manufacturing processes.
		X-ray and gamma ray radiation, which are at the upper end of magnetic radiation have very high frequency --in the range of 100 billion billion Hertz--and very short wavelengths--1 million millionth of a meter.

	radiation. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Acoustic radiation, propagated as sound waves, may be sonic (in the frequency range from 16 to 20,000 cycles per sec), infrasonic, or subsonic (frequency less than 16 cycles per sec), and ultrasonic (frequency greater than 20,000 cycles per sec).
		Examples of particle radiation are alpha and beta rays in radioactivity, and many kinds of atomic and subatomic particles such as electrons, mesons, neutrons, protons, and heavier nuclei (see cosmic rays).
		Radiation is usually considered to travel from a source in straight lines, but its path may be affected by external factors; for instance, charged particles travel in curved paths in magnetic fields.

		The broad goal of this research is to test the hypothesis that the directionality of a vocalization is affected by the social and ecological context of the call, and by the morphology and behavior of the calling animal.
		Because amplitude is affected by directionality and environmental propagation, males will have difficulty sending high amplitude sounds to females, and females will have difficulty comparing amplitude among males; this may lead to adaptations in both sexes to increase benefits during mate choice.
		Sound measurement are made with Automatic Recording Units (ARUs), which can be programed to sample sounds at designated intervals throughout the day, and with a hand-held SPL meter.

		In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, the motor and pump is enclosed by a sound deadening enclosure to inhibit radiation of airborne noise from the pump and motor housings.
		In the preferred embodiments of the invention that embody both a sound deadening enclosure and isolation ferrules at the motor mounting feet, the feet are bolted to the motor housing through the ferrules within the sound deadening enclosure to inhibit both transmission of both structureborne and airborne noise to the surrounding environment.

	Method and devices for the omnidirectional radiation of sound waves - Patent 4322578
		The present invention pertains to a method and apparatus for achieving a uniform omnidirectional radiation of sound waves, particularly at high frequencies, and for increasing selectivity and separation at frequencies in the medium to high frequency wave band The apparatus consists of a series of reflector-diffractor barriers which are frequency selective.
		This is because sound radiation remains spherical, and therefore omnidirectional, only as long as the radiated wave-length is much greater than the diameter of the sound source, which is generally only true for low frequencies.
		Thus, reproducing sound in high fidelity means, as far as possible, recreating the atmosphere of the concert hall, where only a small part of the sound reaches the listener directly, the majority being reflected sound.

	Acoustical Society of America - The Wave Theory of Sound
		Gassendi (a contemporary of Mersenne and Galileo), for example, argued that sound is due to a stream of "atoms" emitted by the sounding body; velocity of sound is the speed of atoms; frequency is number emitted per unit time.
		Substantial progress toward the development of a viable theory of sound propagation resting on firmer mathematical and physical concepts was made during the eighteenth century by Euler (1707-1783), Lagrange (1736-1813), and d'Alembert (1717-1783).
		The theory ultimately proposed for sound in the eighteenth century was incomplete from many standpoints, but modern theories of today can be regarded for the most part as refinements of that developed by Euler and his contemporaries.

	SOUND RADIATION
		Sound is radiated from a fully or partially open tonehole because the air just outside the tonehole is disturbed by the vibrational motion of the ``open'' part of the tonehole volume.
		This is mainly because the WD tonehole model is based on a low-frequency approximation of the real acoustical behaviour of the tonehole.
		Moreover, we have assumed that the radiation is isotropic (i.e., the flow spreads out evenly in all directions).

	Space
		In space many different types of radiation is given out by stars and other celestial objects like electromagnetic (all spectrums of light) radiation, gamma (x-ray) radiation, microwave radiation and much more.
		Sound travels by vibrating particles, the particles then pass on the vibration to other particles around it and so on.
		Both on land and in orbit are observatories which detect even the most miniscule amounts of infra-red, x-ray (gamma), microwave, radio and light radiation in order to piece together images and positions of distant celestial bodies.

	Designing for Sound
		Designing for sound quality should be addressed as soon as possible in the process and no later than the beginning of the enclosure design.
		Sound apertures and grills: are typically used to minimize dust and moisture from getting onto the face of the speaker.
		Speakers generate sound by moving air and this means, for low frequency sounds in particular, the speaker cone, which is attached to the voice coil, must be large, and/or, the excursion distance must increase.

	Sound & Communications - Audio
		Because the speaker radiates equally, but in opposite phase, from both sides of the cone, all radiation is cancelled in the plane perpendicular to the axis of the cone.
		The so-called radial horn exploits this fact by maintaining a constant conical flare in the horizontal plane, with an extreme deviation from conical in the vertical plane.
		In operation, the transducer imparts a bending wave to the panel, which is then radiated as sound as it travels to the perimeter of the panel, is reflected back, and so forth until it is damped out.

	Acoustical Society of America - Sound Radiation from Boxes with Tone Holes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		As everyone knows, sound from a violin is radiated into the surrounding air primarily by the flexural vibrations of its wooden shell.
		As a consequence, the sound itself acquires a complicated directional dependence, as though the violin consisted of a large number of sharp lighthouse beacons whose directions shift around rapidly from one note to the next.
		We call this effect "directional tone color." It endows the sound of a solo violin with a special flashing brilliance which is, incidentally, enhanced by the use of vibrato, because a fluctuating frequency causes the directions of all the "beacons" to waver in synchronism.

		When we talk about the radiation of sound, we are talking about an energy transfer in the molecules of air resulting in a moving high pressure (compression) zone traveling at 1130 feet/second.
		The shape of the periodic wave producing the sound determines the relative strengths of the harmonics — or additional higher frequency components.
