Refraction (sound) Refraction (sound) Refraction, in acoustics, comparable to the refraction of electromagnetic radiation, is the bending of sound propagation trajectories (rays) in inhomogeneous elastic media (gases, liquids, and solids) in which the wave velocity is a function of spatial coordinates. Bending of acoustic rays in layered inhomogeneous media occurs towards a layer with a smaller sound velocity. This effect is responsible for guided propagation of sound waves over long distances in the ocean and in the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, vertical gradients of wind speed and temperature lead to refraction. The wind speed is usually increasing with height, which leads to
A-sound Best Sound ). A-Sound put out their debut album in July 2008: Release. It was the first Mongolian rock album to feature some songs in English. The album featured many popular songs, including: "Uyanga," "Shine On," and "Forever." "Uyanga" is a popular girl's name and is a pleasant song sung in Mongolian. "Shine On" and "Forever" are two slices of immaculate pop song-craft, and to music critic (among other things) Brian Offenther, should have been international pop smashes. In "Forever," lead singer Temuulen's crystal clear voice really sours. In early 2009, a deluxe version of Release was put out and
