Why Acoustic Sensor

What is acoustics?

Acoustics is defined as

1. The physics of sound. The study and applications of acoustic phenomena.

2. The qualities of an enclosure or sound chamber (room, auditorium, or box) that describe how sound waves behave in it.

Microphone is the example of acoustic sensor. In essence, a microphone is a pressure transducer adapted for the transduction of sound waves over a broad spectral range which generally excludes very low frequencies below a few hertz.

In this blog, I will post the acoustic sensors for various frequency ranges. The audible range sensors are generally called the microphones; however, the name is often used even for the ultrasonic and infrasonic waves.
