← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the cut-off frequency is reached in an acoustic metamaterial comprising an array of Helmholtz resonators?
A)Sound transmission is greatly reduced✓
B)Constructive interference becomes predominant
C)Band gap formation becomes prohibited
D)Acoustic impedance matching is easier
💡 Explanation
Sound transmission is greatly limited because at the cut-off frequency, the metamaterial drastically increases its refractive index, thus the acoustic impedance causes significant backscattering due to destructive interference, rather than impedance matching or different reasons.
