Abstract
The problem of developing relations that allow us to increase the accuracy of estimates for energy E of a pulsed source of acoustic waves in the atmosphere is solved by generalizing experimental data on time t R+ of pressure growth to the peak value P + in the first positive phase of acoustic signals from different sources in a wide range of energies (10−8 < E < 1010 kg of TNT) and reduced distances (10 < RE −1/3 < 4 × 104 m kg−1/3). In addition to a new way of estimating energy E of a pulsed source, a way of estimating distance R from the source is also proposed. Innovative science also reveals a change in the law of the increase in parameter t R+ as distance R from a source grows.
