Refraction (sound) a downward bending of the sound rays towards the ground. The same holds if the temperature is decreasing with height. If the temperature is increasing with height (inversion) and the wind speed is low, sound rays are bend upwards. 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
Sound of a Woman fun this sound was -- and is." Julia Leconte of "NOW Magazine" noticed that "at first, [...] Kiesza's debut album seems overwrought [...] but eventually, subtleties and variety emerge" and felt that "Kiesza's so much better when she reels back her impressively ranging vocals to buttery." Chris Chiu of "The Silhouette" wrote that the album "offers the same intensity and sound that made her an instant hit and proved her overwhelming potential," but also that it "suffers from a bit of an identity crisis." Larry Fitzmaurice of Pitchfork Media noted that "Sound of a Woman" "fails to spark, as its
