Categories of Sound Waves Sound waves fall into three categories
covering different ranges of frequencies. Audible sound waves
In the range of human hearing (20 Hz – 20 kHz) Infrasonic waves
Frequencies below the audible range (< 20 Hz) Ultrasonic waves
Frequencies above the audible range (> 20 kHz)

Applications of Ultrasonic Waves Widely used in medical applications
Diagnostic tool AND treatment Ultrasound Imaging
Transducer placed on mother’s abdomen Emits ultrasonic waves Reflected waves are picked up by transducer and
converted into an electric signal that forms an image
Ultrasound Treatment Ultrasonic waves used to break up kidney
stones or promote healing in biological tissues.

Speed of Sound Depends on the density of the air and its
temperature. Value increases by 0.606 m/s for every
increase of 1oC.
T = temperature in oC

Sample Problem 1The temperature outside is 23oC. What is the speed of sound in air at this temperature?G: T = 23oCR: v = ?A: v = 331.4 m/s + (0.606 m/s/oC) TS: v = 331.4 m/s + (0.606 m/s/oC)(23oC) = 345 m/sS: The speed of sound in air at 23oC is 345 m/s

Mach Number Ernst Mach researched sound waves and
devised a way to describe air speeds of objects in terms of the speed of sound. Ratio of airspeed to the local speed of
sound
No units for M Mach number is not fixed – depends on
speed of sound in its vicinity

Sound Intensity Loudness describes how humans perceive
sound energy. Depends on a quantity called sound intensity.
A sound wave is a longitudinal wave Amplitude of a longitudinal wave is a difference
in pressure
The larger the amplitude, the louder the sound that is perceived. The amount of sound energy being transferred per
unit area is called sound intensity Measured in W/m2

Human Perceptions of Sound Intensity
The threshold of human hearing ranges from about 1x10-12 W/m2 to about 1 W/m2
Easier to use decibels The unit of sound level used to describe sound
intensity level 1/10 of a bel (B)
The decibel commonly gives measurements on a scale of 0 to 100, sometimes exceeding 200 Decibels refer to sound level, not intensity,
so an order of magnitude is an increase of 10 decibels.

Typical Sound Levels
![Page 15: Properties of Sound waves](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816363550346895dd43626/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Loudness and Distance The farther you are from a sound, the
quieter it becomes. As the sound wave expands from
the source, the total energy stays the same, but the area of air it acts on is greatly increased.
Loudness drops off quickly, but audible levels persist for quite a distance
![Page 16: Properties of Sound waves](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816363550346895dd43626/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sound Safety Any sound levels greater than 100 dB
that persist for more than a few minutes will damage hearing. The louder a sound, the
less time that can be spent near it without damaging hearing.
![Page 17: Properties of Sound waves](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816363550346895dd43626/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Summary Audible sound waves range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Infrasonic waves
have frequencies below 20 Hz. Ultrasonic waves have frequencies above 20 kHz.
We can apply our understanding of the properties of sound to technologies that benefit society.
The speed of sound through the atmosphere, in metres per second, is given by the relationship v = 331.4 m/s + (0.606 m/s/°C) T, where T is the temperature in degrees Celsius.
Sound intensity is a measure of the energy flowing through the unit area due to a sound wave.
Human hearing can detect a range of sound intensities over many magnitudes in intensity.
Loudness levels are usually described on the decibel scale, which is more convenient than the range of values for sound intensity. Loudness levels are dependent on the distance from the source of the sound.
Sound levels in industry and recreation must be kept to a reasonable level to avoid hearing damage.
