If instead a probing laser ray is passing through the<br />

box in Fig. 27.8 in the x-direction, it will experience<br />

a time-varying phase change. A small frequency shift is<br />

thus generated by the standing aerial waves inside the<br />

box. This shift can be detected by a laser vibrometer;<br />

27.2.3 Reciprocity and TV Holography<br />

An indirect pointwise method <strong>to</strong> measure the sound distribution<br />

from an instrument is <strong>to</strong> use reciprocity [27.62]<br />

combined with, for instance, TV holography [27.63].<br />

An advantage of this method is that, even in a quite<br />

large spatial volume, radiativity [27.64] can be recorded.<br />

This is valuable since audible acoustical waves at low<br />

frequencies can have very long wavelengths.<br />

An experiment using reciprocity and TV holography<br />

can be performed as follows. A movable loudspeaker at<br />

constant (unit) driving conditions excites, say a stringed<br />

instrument, from different positions outside it. The<br />

corresponding out-of-plane velocity component at the<br />

bridge foot is measured by TV holography for the specific<br />

excited vibration pattern. Then, it can be argued<br />

using reciprocity that, if a constant (unit) driving force<br />

now instead is acting at the bridge foot, it will create<br />

a sound pressure of the same magnitude as the measured<br />

velocity component at the same place as the loudspeaker<br />

was placed. By moving the loudspeaker around when<br />
