14.1 – Sound Waves & Beats• Sound Waves travel as compressions &
expansions• Alternating regions of compressed and expanded
air• These regions move away from source as
longitudinal wave

Sound waves exhibit sine wave behavior

Speed of sound• Same for all frequencies• Remember v=fλ …. And v only depends on
medium, not f
![Page 6: Chapter 14](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568163c2550346895dd4e88a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Speed of Sound• Normal atmospheric pressure and temperature
speed of sound is 343 m/s.
• Speed of sound is determined by properties of medium that it travels through
• Speed of sound increases with temperature
• More rigid/stiff an object is… the faster sound will travel through it• Steel – 5960 m/s• Plastic – 2680 m/s• Fresh Water @ 20° C – 1482 m/s• Air – 340 m/s

Lightning/Thunder• Use speed of sound to calculate how far lightning
is away from you

Human Hearing• The pitch of a sound is simply the frequency
of the sound wave• Higher frequency, higher the pitch• Humans can typically hear pitches ranging from
20 Hz (infrasonic) to 20,000 Hz (ultrasonic), but that range diminishes as you age… typically at the high end
• Loudness of a sound is affected only by amplitude
![Page 9: Chapter 14](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568163c2550346895dd4e88a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Beats • Two tones of slightly different frequency are
sounded together. This produces a fluctuation in the loudness of combined sounds.
• Amount of beats per second is equal to the difference in frequencies. • Fbeat = |f1-f2|• Two tuning forks…. One 340 Hz another 310 Hz are
sounded together. Beats will occur at a frequency of 30 Hz

14.2 Standing Sound Waves• Guitar strings, flute• Blowing air across the open end of a bottle• In general a standing wave in a bottle has a node
at bottom and antinode at the top
![Page 11: Chapter 14](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568163c2550346895dd4e88a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Harmonics for pipe open at one end• First Harmonic w node at bottom and antinode at
top would be ¼ of a wavelength fitting in the bottle
• So λ= ¼ L and f1 = v/4L• In general,
![Page 12: Chapter 14](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568163c2550346895dd4e88a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Harmonics for pipes open at both ends• Must have antinode at each open end
![Page 13: Chapter 14](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568163c2550346895dd4e88a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
14.3 – The Doppler Effect• The frequency of a sound wave will change do to
the perceived motion of the sound source• Waves bunched when approaching (high F, low λ)• Waves spread out when receding (low F, high λ)
![Page 14: Chapter 14](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568163c2550346895dd4e88a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Doppler Effect• Waves From an object that is approaching
have short wavelength, which means they have a higher freq. And a higher pitch
• waves coming from an object that is moving away from you have a longer wavelength and therefore a lower freq, and lower pitch
• Cars approaching and leaving

Bow shock/sonic Boom• Sometimes the source of a wave can travel
faster than the waves it is creating• http://

• Can be easily seen with a speed boat• http://

• Sonic boom created when a object or plane breaks through the sound barrier

Human Perception of Sound• Loudness is determined by Intensity
![Page 19: Chapter 14](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081604/568163c2550346895dd4e88a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Doubling loudness corresponds to increasing the intensity by a factor of 10.
• 2x as loud means a 10 dB increase in Intensity
