Mass Law in Acoustics Overview

The document discusses sound waves in fluids and how to characterize them. It introduces key concepts like: 1) Bulk modulus, which relates the change in pressure of a fluid to the relative change in volume. 2) Volumetric strain, which is the relative change in volume of a fluid particle. 3) The relationship between bulk modulus, density, and sound speed in a fluid. 4) How sound speed varies with temperature, salinity, and pressure in water. 5) The concept of acoustic impedance, which is the ratio of pressure to velocity in a plane sound wave.
