    With respect to ultrasonic fish finding, a theory for calculation of reflecting power of fish school is developed. The reflecting power is defined by us as the ratio of the sound pressure of the reflected wave from the fish school at the position of the source to that from an infinte rigid plane situated at the position of the fish school. The calculation shows that the reflecting power is independent of the distance, and is proportional to the beam angle, the square root of the pulse length and the square root of the fish density, as far as the school extend beyond the beam angle. The model experiment is performed in air, utilizing many soft tennis balls suspenced in random distribution as the reflecting obstacles. The frequency and the wave length are 14. 2kc and 2. 4cm, respectively. The theorectical results written above are proved approximately. The absolute value of the reflecting power of fish school is also given theoretically, assuming the cause of reflection from a fish to be the air-bladders and the density difference of the fish body and the water. This was not experimentally verified in this work, and the reflecting power of a single fish is now under measurement in other laboratory for many kinds of fish.

    The theoretical calculations on diffraction of light by superposed ultrasonic waves are shown and the intensity distributions on the diffraction plane of the optical system are definitely obtained. The calculations are separately performed on two cases of crosseed waves and parallel waves, and the resulting expressions, similar to each other, agree well with experimental and theoretical results by Bergmann and others. The results obtained can be directly applied to the calculation of the image formation of superposed ultrasonic waves, as shown in the next report.

    Theoretical calculations are performed on the image formations of superposed ultrasonic waves. Instead of the usual method developed by Hiedemann and others for visualizing ultrasonic waves, the more general phase method are applied to the visualization. In this method, the zeroth order diffraction image subjects a proper absorption and a phase retardation by the phase plate placed in the diffraction plane, instead of being perfectly screened. From the expressions for the image formation, the image shapes are obtained, and the relation between the visibility of the images and the characteristics of the phase plate is investigated. As to the image formation of surperposed ultrasonic waves, Willard discussed the case in his paper, "Improved Methods for Measuring Ultrasonic Velocity", but it is shown that appreciable errors occur from his simple consideration with the increase of sound intensity in comparison with the present exact theory. This matter will be experimentally verified in the next report.

    Experimental procedure and results concerning the diffraction of light by superposed ultrasonic waves and image formation of the waves are described. The experimental apparatus used is not different from the usual ones. The results obtained are compared with the theoretical curves, showing the considerable agreements between them. Further, it is experimentally recognized that the image formation of superposed waves is effectively applied to the detection of weak ultrasonic waves and that problem is theoretically considered.

    A series of analysis for the zonal sound radiator was done. In the part I of these papers, the analysis for the zonal vibration of a prolate spheroid was developed by the use of prolate spheroidal wave functions. The directivity of radiated sound pressure and power, and radiation impedance was calculated. This analysis may be useful for the design of the public-address systems.

    We measured the room noise spectra at subscribers'telephone location in Tokyo with sound level meter and filters, and couldn't detect the difference for the kinds of profession (residences, offices, shops, and factories)in singnificant level 5%. We estimated the noise spectra of various profession, of which results approximately agreed with Hoth's data. We also measured the room noise levels, and its mean value was found to be 57. 4 phon.
