* Spherical Waves and Cylindrical Waves Thus far we have developed a set of differential equations that describe the local behavior of sound waves. We become acquainted with some other important types of wave behavior ----- spherical waves. Our emphasis here is on the waves themselves and in the following chapter we will pursue the interaction of these waves with their sources. Spherical spreading describes the decrease in level when a sound wave propagates away from a source uniformly in all directions. Sound levels are therefore constant on spherical surfaces surrounding the sound source
