acoustic radiometer meaning
- [Electronics]
An instrument for measuring the intensity of a sound wave (see SOUND INTENSITY) in terms of the unidirectional steady-state pressure exerted at a boundary as a result of absorption or reflection of the wave.
[Engineering]
An instrument for measuring sound intensity by determining the unidirectional steady-state pressure caused by the reflection or absorption of a sound wave at a boundary.
- His work on acoustic radiometers coincided with that of Lord Rayleigh.
