SOUND travels in Longitudinal Waves
• Particles vibrate back and forth along path wave travels
• Compression = particles are crowded
• Rarefaction = particles less crowded

Properties of Sound• Speed varies based on:
– Medium, temperature, density, elasticity
• Pitch: sensation of frequency(HERTZ)– Low pitch = low frequency– High pitch = high frequency
• Intensity: amount of energy in a wave; greater amplitude = more energy = louder sound
• Loudness is measured in DECIBELS

Pitch
• How high or low a sound is
• Depends on how fast the particles vibrate
• Low – trombone, bass, tuba
• High – piccolo, violin, viola, flute, xylophone
• Soprano – 1000 Hz
• Thunder – 50 Hz
MetroMetroRESA
Speed of Sound at 20ºC
• Air = 342 m/s (764 miles/hour) at 20°C
• Seawater = 1530 m/s
• Steel = 5200 m/s
• Speed Changes w/ Temp
• Speed = 342 m/s + .6ΔT (for air only)
• MACH 1 = 342 m/s : MACH 2 = 684 m/s
• Light travels through air at a speed of approximately 300,000,000 m/s
• Almost 900,000 times the speed of sound
MetroMetroRESA
Distance to a source
• Distance = Speed of Sound x Time(sec.)
• Measure time from lightening and thunder
• Distance = 342m/s X 5 sec» = 1710 meters (1.06 miles)
• Be sure to correct speed
related to temperature

Doppler Effect
• Causes pitch to rise as approaching and drop as going away

Echo
• Reflection of a sound wave• Time delay between the production of a
sound and the arrival of a reflection of that sound off a distant barrier
• Distance to barrier calculations: If Echo is heard in 3 seconds(20º)
• distance = velocity • (time/2) = 342 m/s • (3s ÷ 2) = 513 m
MetroMetroRESA
Acoustics
• Sound waves from various sources interact in an auditorium.
• We attempt to control the sounds by absorbing waves at the perimeter (walls)
• designing the angles of the wall
• putting softer material on the walls to absorb extra sound.
MetroMetroRESA
Interference• Two waves can
occupy the same space
• The overlapping of two + more waves
• Constructive Interference increases amplitude
• Destructive Interference decreases amplitude
MetroMetroRESA
Human Vocal Chords
• When air passes, they vibrate causing sound that we learn to control causing speech.
MetroMetroRESA
Six steps to Speech
• Breath - controlled by muscle (diaphragm) contracting and forcing air out of lungs
• Vocal Chords vibrate because of the air
• Bucal Cavity(back of throat) – shaped for sounds
• Tongue – adjusted for sounds
• Teeth – placed for sounds
• Lips – adjusted for sounds
MetroMetroRESA
Steps of Hearing• Ear Flap helps direct waves into ear canal• Ear Drum vibrates when struck by waves• 3 Bones (hammer, anvil & stirrup) intensify
vibration through Middle to Inner Ear• Cochlea liquid is moved causing hairs to
move with frequency of vibration• Nerves attached to hairs carry impulse to
the portion of the Brain used to interpret the “electrical impulses” into Sound
MetroMetroRESA
Music vs. Noise• Music produces a sound wave with a
repeating patterns of frequency and amplitude.
• Noise can be described as any undesired sound that includes a random mix of pitches and amplitudes
MetroMetroRESA
Source of sound in instruments• Strings – vibration caused by plucking or
bowing. Pitch controlled by length, tightness and diameter of string
• Brass -- vibration caused by lip vibration against a mouthpiece. Pitch controlled by adjusting breath, lips and length of column
• Woodwinds – Breath vibrates a reed. Pitch is controlled by length of air column.
• Percussion – Vibrations caused by concussion. Pitch controlled by material, size and part vibrated.

Overtones• Fundamental tone: Chosen standard tone
wavelength• First Overtone: Wavelength that is ½ standard• Second Overtone: Wavelength that is 1/3
standard• Third Overtone: Wavelength that is ¼ standard• One more wave than name.
MetroMetroRESA
Sonar• Reflecting sound waves in water off of
boats, submarines, or sunken objects and the sea floor and interpreting the reflection
• Distance, direction and speed of objects can be calculated.
• Based on time of travel of the sound wave in the water at the ambient temperature.
MetroMetroRESA
Ultrasound• Frequencies above 20,000 hertz• Dog whistles-too high for us to hear but bothers dog/cats• Echolocation—Bats and Dolphins—producing a sound which
then echoes off an object or surface and then detected by the animal
• Ultrasonic cleaners—jewelry • Medicine
– Sonogram is a picture made of the inside of the body by interpreting bounced sound
– Using focused sound to destroy unwanted tissue inside the body– Kidney stones
– Toothbrushes--Sonicare• Camera range finders — infrared or ultrasonic

Infra-sound
• Very low pitched sound –less than 20 Hz
• Communication/Location can occur over 100’s of miles if in water– Elephants – 10-20 miles in air– Whales – 100’s of miles in water– Humans have reported detecting this sound as a
rumbling in your gut that you feel
MetroMetroRESA
Hearing Ranges of Animals
• Humans range from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz • Dogs range from 50 Hz to 45,000 Hz• Cats range from 45 Hz to 85,000 Hz• Bats rely on sound echolocation for navigation
and hunting and can detect ultrasonic frequencies as high as 120,000 Hz.
• Dolphins can detect ultrasonic frequencies as high as 200,000 Hz
• Elephants can detect infrasound, having an audible range from approximately 5 Hz to approximately 10,000 Hz
