Abstract

An acoustic wave device includes: a Y-cut X-propagation lithium tantalate substrate having a cut angle of 5° or greater and 18° or less; and a grating electrode that is formed of one or more metal films stacked on the lithium tantalate substrate, a number of the one or more metal films being n (n is a natural number), excites an acoustic wave, and meets a condition: 0.16 ⁢ λ ≤ ∑ i = 1 n ⁢ ⁢ ( hi × ρ ⁢ ⁢ i ρ ⁢ ⁢ 0 ) ≤ 0.24 ⁢ λ where ρi represents a density of each metal film of the one or more metal films, hi represents a film thickness of the each metal film, ρ 0 represents a density of Mo, and λ represents a pitch.
