An experimental arrangement consisting of a drop weight system was developed to induce a compression wave through a granular medium. The medium was instrumented to study the characteristics of the compression wave. It was found that the wave attenuates exponentially and the velocity of propagation increases with depth. The wave front progressing through the medium was non-planar. [...]
