The wave impedance in a propagation medium is the force variable (such as pressure for acoustic waves) divided by the velocity variable. In ideal plane waves and traveling waves, the wave impedance is a real, positive number. For spherical waves in air, the wave impedance is different at each frequency. — Click for https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/OnePorts/Impedance.html |
