Karl Eberhard Zwicker
was a German acoustics scientist and full professor at the Technical University Munich.
Zwicker studied at the Technischen Hochschule Stuttgart physics
and electrical engineering,
and was an assistant of Richard Feldtkeller.
In 1967 he was appointed full professor of the newly founded Institute for Electro-Acoustics of the TU Munich.
Zwicker developed a method for the computation of noise levels, DIN 45631.
Zwicker was together with Richard Feldtkeller author of the standard work for psychoacoustics Das Ohr als Nachrichtenempfänger. (The Ear as Message Receiver).

Physics
Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through spacetime, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.Physics is one of the oldest academic...
