    Sound

    Sound is a longitudinal mechanicalwave.

    Compressions(High Pressure)

    Rarefactions(Low Pressure)

    3/18

    Speed of Sound

    Depends on the medium.

    The more elastic the medium thefaster sound will travel through it.

    Speed in metals>speed inwater>speed in air

    Sound cant travel throughvacuum.

    Speed of Sound in Air

    v = 331 + 0.6 T ( in meters/sec)

    T is the temperature in 0C.In higher humidity, sound will travelfaster.

    Pitch: the frequency of asound wave.

    Musical notes have a given pitch.

    The note C has a frequency of327Hz.

    When two notes differ by a ratio of2:1 they are one octave apart.

    What would be the next higher C?

    Bow (Shock) Waves

    When the speed of a moving soundsource is greater than the speed of thewave, a pressure ridge builds similar

    to the wave created by the bow of aship.

    Sonic Boom

    When the pressure ridge of a bowwave of a jet passes over an observeron the ground, the observerexperiences a sonic boom.

    Doppler Effect

    The change in a wave's perceivedfrequency due to the motion of either thesound source or the observer.

    It is applicable to any type of wave.

    Doppler EffectDetected Frequency, (f D)

    f D = f ( v vo )vvsf : frequency of source

    v : speed of sound

    vo : speed of observer(+)when observer moving towards

    source

    vs

    : speed of source(-)when source is moving towards

    Example 1

    An ambulance is approaching astationary observer.

    The siren of the ambulance emits a

    frequency of 480Hz and the speedof the ambulance is50km/h(=13.88m/s).

    What frequency will the stationaryobserver hear when the ambulanceis approaching? Assume T=20 oC.

    Answer: f d = 500Hz

    Sound Intensity (I)

    I = (Power transmitted by the Wave)/Area

    Threshold of human hearing:

    Io =1 x 10 -12 Watts/m 2

    Threshold of Pain:IP = 1 Watts/m 2

    Sound (Intensity) Level

    A measure of our perception of theloudness of the sound.

    Unit: decibel(dB)

  • 8/13/2019 1 Sound, Pitch, Loudness, Doppler Effect

    15/18

    Sound (Intensity) Level,(decibel)

    b= 1 log I , unit for b is dB ( decibel )I0

    The decibel compares the sound intensity (I),to I o (1 x 10 -12 Watts/m 2) ,

    the threshold of human hearing.

    Remember: log(10 x )= x

    Example 2

    What is the sound level (decibel) ofa sound of 10 -4 W/m 2 intensity ?

    Answer: 80dB

    Example 3

    How many times louder is a quiet librarysound (40 dB) compared to a soft whisper(20 dB)?

    Hint 1: Property of logs:log(A/B) = logA logB

    Hint 2: Take the difference in dB and thenfind
