Acoustic Waveguide

An acoustic waveguide is a structure designed to direct and control sound waves, similar to how a pipe guides water or a wire conducts electricity. It confines sound within a specific path, allowing it to travel efficiently from one point to another. Waveguides are used in various applications, such as microphones, loudspeakers, and sonar systems, to focus sound energy, reduce noise, or improve signal clarity. They can be made from different materials and shaped in various ways to suit specific needs, helping enhance sound transmission and manage how sound behaves in a system.
