RAYLEIGH MEDAL 2007.
The Rayleigh Medal is the premier award, awarded without regard to age, to persons of undoubted renown for outstanding contributions to acoustics.
It is normally presented to a UK acoustician in even numbered years and an overseas acoustician in odd numbered years.
The medal is named after John William Strutt, Third Baron Rayleigh (1842-1919), a very versatile physicist who conducted both experimental and theoretical research in virtually every branch of the subject.
A graduate, fellow and eventually Chancellor of Cambridge University, he was a fellow and president of the Royal Society.
His book 'The Theory of Sound' remains a landmark text in the development of acoustics.
R W B STEPHENS MEDAL 2007.
The R W B Stephens Medal was named after Dr Ray Stephens, the first President of the Institute.
His main interests lay in physical acoustics but he is remembered by generations of students for his continuing work in education.
The medal is awarded in alternate years for outstanding contributions to acoustics research or education.
