[local physicists] W&M Saturday Morning Physics: "Sound All Around"

[Wouter Deconinck]

Dear science enthusiast,

The next lecture in the Saturday Morning Physics lecture series of the
Department of Physics at the College of William & Mary will take place
on Saturday December 1.  The lectures in this series are aimed at
anyone with an interest in science (and high school students are in
particular encouraged to attend).

  "Sound All Around", by prof. Keith Griffioen

  Saturday December 1, Small Hall, 11am

Close your eyes for a moment and listen.   In the dark, the outside
world comes to you in a voice, in a melody, in the rush of the wind,
and in the bustle of traffic noises.  What you hear you cannot see.
What is this stuff we call sound?  How does it travel?  How do we hear
it?  How can you tell the voices of your friends apart?  Why does a
flute sound different from a violin?  Come discover the nature of
sound with us.

The lecture will start at 11am in the Small Hall building at the
College of William & Mary. Admission is free, and free parking is
available in the lot along Jamestown Road.

About Saturday Morning Physics:
The topics of this lecture series are wide-ranging but maintain a
connection with physics. All lectures will be accessible to anyone
with an interest in science. The lectures will take place in the main
auditorium of the newly renovated Small Hall building where the
Department of Physics is located.  More info on the lecture series
(including a printable pdf file of the attached flyer) can be found at

This is the last lecture of this season, and we look forward to seeing
you again in the spring.

Best regards,
Wouter Deconinck
