FRENCH coMMANDANT SAYS

involves Delicate Problem In BaIiIs.
tics and Acoustics.


When a bullet or shell whizzes past
you hear two distinct sounds, which
are generally attributed to echo.
But echo has nothing to do with
them, and the double sound is a,
strange phenomenon in acoustics
that has only just been explained.
Commandant Agnus of the French
army has. presented to the Academic
des Sciences the results of a profound
study he has made OF this double
sound.
The explanation is that you hear
successfully the noise produced by
the projectilc ploushing through the
air at the moment of its passage at
the height of the listener ard the
noise Of its detonation at the moment
of firin~, which reaches the ear with
the speed of sound.
On firing the detonation spreads a
circular (more correctly. globular)
wave that moves in every direction
with the speed of sound, or about
1000 feet second. But the projec.
tile itself is rushing through the all
with q velocity that steadily de.
creases.
A shell from a IS cannon has n
speed of Las feet second at the
guns mouth, and a rifle bullet has a
speed of more than 1000 feet, rough
ly speaking twice that of sound. The
noise it makes in flying through the
air is continued and outdistances the
sound of the explosion. being one.
