SOUND WAVE PROPERTIES
![Page 2: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What we have learned:
1. Sound is a longitudinal wave. (A mechanical wave caused by a vibration)
2. Sound (mechanical wave) requires a medium.
3. Wavelength and frequency are inversely related.
4. Molecules interact, producing sound• Examples: Vocal chords, guitar or piano strings, tuning fork, etc.
![Page 3: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Longitudinal Wave• Referred to as a PRESSURE WAVE• A sound wave has high pressure and low pressure
regions moving through a medium• The high pressure regions are called compressions,
(molecules are compressed)• The low pressure regions are called rarefactions,
(molecules are spread out)

Sound and Frequency
• The frequency of a sound wave (or any wave) is the number of complete vibrations per second.
• The frequency of sound determines its pitch
The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch
The lower the frequency, the lower the pitch
![Page 6: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Wavelength
• Wavelength is the distance between two high pressures or two low pressures
• Wavelength and frequency are inversely related
• A short wavelength (high frequency) results in a high pitch

Frequency and the human ear• Humans can hear a range of frequencies from 20 Hz to
20,000 Hz• The older you get, the hearing range shrinks• Sound waves with frequencies below 20 Hz are called
infrasonic• Sound waves with frequencies above 20,000 Hz are
called ultrasonic
![Page 9: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Amplitude• The human ear is sensitive to difference in pressure
waves• The AMPLITUDE of a sound wave determines its
loudness or softness• This means the more energy in a sound wave, the louder
the sound• Sound intensity is a measure of how much energy passes
a given point in a time period• Intensity is measured in decibels
![Page 11: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DECIBEL• Every increase of 10 dB has a 10x greater amplitude
• Most people perceive an increase of 10 dB to be about twice as loud as the original sound
![Page 13: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Source of Sound Level (dB) Increase over Threshold
Threshold 0 dB 0
Normal Breathing 10 dB 10
Whisper 20 dB 100
Normal Conversation 60 dB 106
Busy street traffic 70 dB 107
Vacuum cleaner 80 dB 108
Average factory 90 dB 109
IPod at maximum level 100 dB 1010
Threshold of pain 120 dB 1020
Jet engine at 30 m 140 dB 1014
Perforation of eardrum 160 dB 1016
![Page 14: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reducing Sound Intensity• Cotton earplugs reduce sound intensity by approximately 10 dB.
• Special earplugs reduce intensity by 25 to 45 dB.• Sound proof materials weaken the pressure fluctuations either by absorbing or reflecting the sound waves.
• When the sound waves are absorbed by soft materials, the energy is converted into thermal energy.
![Page 15: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sound Behaviors: Reflection• Reflection of sound results in an echo• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAYt-lf4AWk• Sound waves leave a source, travel a distance, and
bounce back to the origin• Animals, like bats, use echoes to locate prey• Other uses include determining distances between
objects, echocardiograms• The distance the sound travels to get back to the origin is
2x the distance between the sound source and boundary
![Page 16: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sound Behavior: Refraction• Refraction occurs when sound moves from one medium
to another• The wave bends, and the speed changes
• Even when sound moves from warmer areas to cooler areas, refraction occurs
![Page 17: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sound Behavior: Diffraction• Diffraction occurs when sound waves pass through an
opening or through a barrier• Low pitched sound waves travel farther than high pitched
sound waves• Animals use diffraction for communication• http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/animals/
mammals-animals/elephants/elephant_african_vocalization/
![Page 18: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Velocity• Velocity of sound depends on the medium it travels
through and the phase of the medium• Sound travels faster in liquids than in air (4 times faster in
water than air)• Sound travels faster in solids than in liquids (11 times
faster in iron than in air)• Sound does not travel through a vacuum (there is no air
so sound has no medium)
![Page 19: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Velocity and Temperature• In air at room temperature, sound travels at 343 m/s (at
20°C). This is about 766 mph.• As temperature increases, the velocity of sound increases
v= velocity of sound in air
T=temperature of air in °C
v=331 + (0.6)T
![Page 20: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Wave Equation• The basic wave equation is also applied to sound:
• V= velocity, measured in m/s• λ= wavelength, measured in meters• f= frequency, measured in hertz
![Page 21: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Example Problems:
1. Sound waves travel at approximately 340 m/s. What is the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 20 Hz?
2. What is the speed of sound traveling in air at 28º C?
3. If the above sound wave has a frequency of 261.6 Hz, what is the wavelength of the wave?
![Page 22: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Resonance
![Page 23: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Natural Frequency
• Nearly all objects when hit or disturbed will vibrate.
• Each object vibrates at a particular frequency or set of frequencies.
• This frequency is called the natural frequency.• If the amplitude is large enough and if the natural frequency is within the range of 20-20000 Hz, then the object will produce an audible sound.
![Page 24: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Factors Affecting Natural Frequency
• Properties of the medium• Modification in the wavelength that is produced (length of string, column of air in instrument, etc.)
• Temperature of the air
![Page 25: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Timbre• Timbre is the quality of the sound that is produced.
• If a single frequency is produced, the tone is pure (example: a flute)
• If a set of frequencies is produced, but related mathematically by whole-number ratios, it produces a richer tone (example: a tuba)
• If multiple frequencies are produced that are not related mathematically, the sound produced is described as noise (example: a pencil)
![Page 26: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Resonance• Resonance occurs when one object vibrates at the same natural frequency of a second object, forcing that second object to vibrate at the same frequency.
![Page 27: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Types of Resonance• Resonance is the cause of sound production in musical instruments.
• Energy is transferred thereby increasing the amplitude (volume) of the sound.
• Resonance takes place in both closed pipe resonators and open pipe resonators.
• Resonance is achieved when there is a standing wave produced in the tube.
![Page 28: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Boom Whackers• Using the boom whackers, determine what happens to the
frequency when the cap is taken off the pipe. • Draw a standing wave fro the pipe when the cap is on and
when the cap is off.
![Page 29: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Closed pipe resonator• open end of tube is anti-node• closed end of tube is node
![Page 30: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Harmonics of Closed Pipe Resonance
• The shortest column of air that can have a pressure anti-node at the closed end and a pressure node at the open end is ¼ wavelength long. This is called the fundamental frequency or first harmonic.
• As the frequency is increased, additional resonance lengths are found at ½ wavelength intervals.
• The frequency that corresponds to ¾ wavelength is called the 3rd harmonic, 5/4 wavelength is called the 5th harmonic, etc.
![Page 31: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Open pipe resonator• both ends are open• both ends are anti-node
![Page 32: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Harmonics of Open Pipe Resonance• The shortest column of air that can have nodes (or antinodes) at both ends is ½ wavelength long. This is called the fundamental frequency or first harmonic.
• As the frequency is increased, additional resonance lengths are found at ½ wavelength intervals.
• The frequency that corresponds to a full wavelength is the second harmonic, 3/2 wavelength is the third harmonic, etc.
![Page 33: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Problem
1. Tommy and the Test Tubes have a concert this weekend. The lead instrumentalist uses a test tube (closed end air column) with a 17.2 cm air column. The speed of sound in the test tube is 340 m/s. Find the frequency of the first harmonic played by this instrument.
![Page 34: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Solution
L = λ/4
4 x L = λ
4 x .172 = .688 m
v = f λ
340 = f (.688)
f = 494 Hz
![Page 35: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Problems
2. Matt is playing a toy flute, causing resonating waves in a open-end air column. The speed of sound through the air column is 336 m/s. The length of the air column is 30.0 cm. Calculate the frequency of the first, second, and third harmonics.
![Page 36: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Solution
1. L = λ/2
2 x L = λ
2 x .30 = .60 m
v = f λ
336 = f (.60)
f = 560 Hz. (first harmonic)
2nd harmonic = 560 + 560 = 1120 Hz.
3rd harmonic = 1120 + 560 = 1680 Hz

Bellwork
•Pick up the review guide at the front.
•Place yourselves in your lab group from Tuesday
•Follow the directions at the lab table where you are seated.

Sound and Hearing• Acoustics is the branch of physics pertaining to sound• The ear converts sound energy to mechanical energy to a
nerve impulse that is then transmitted to the brain• Our ears allow us to perceive changes in pitch• Our ears are sensitive to a particular range of frequencies
between 1,000 – 4,000 Hz.
![Page 39: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Anatomy of the Ear
![Page 40: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The Outer Ear• The outer ear consists of the earlobe and the ear canal• Sound enters the outer ear as a pressure wave• The outer ear provides protection to the middle ear and
protects the eardrum
![Page 41: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Sound starts at the Pinna
![Page 42: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Then goes through the auditory canal
![Page 43: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The Middle Ear• The middle ear is an air-filled cavity that consists of an
eardrum and three tiny, interconnected bones - the hammer, anvil, and stirrup.
• The eardrum is a very durable and tightly stretched membrane that vibrates as the incoming pressure waves reach
• The stirrup is connected to the inner ear
![Page 44: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The sound waves will then vibrate the Tympanic Membrane (eardrum) which is made of a thin layer of skin.
![Page 45: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The tympanic membrane will then vibrate three
tiny bones: the Malleus (hammer), the Incus (anvil), and the Stapes (stirrup)
![Page 46: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Inner Ear• The inner ear consists of a cochlea, the semicircular
canals, and the auditory nerve• The cochlea and the semicircular canals are filled with a
water-like fluid• The fluid and nerve cells of the semicircular canals
provide no role in the task of hearing; they speed up the detection of sound
![Page 47: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The stapes will then vibrate the
Cochlea
![Page 48: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Inside look of the Cochlea• The stapes vibrates the
cochlea• The frequency of the
vibrations will stimulate particular hairs inside the cochlea
• The intensity at which these little hairs are vibrated will determine how loud the sound is.
• The auditory nerve will then send this signal to the brain.
![Page 49: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
DECIBEL• Every increase of 10 dB has a 10x greater amplitude
• Most people perceive an increase of 10 dB to be about twice as loud as the original sound
![Page 50: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
A mosquito’s buzz is often rated with a decibel rating of 40 dB. Normal conversation is often rated at 60 dB. How many times more intense is normal conversation compared to a mosquito’s buzz?

What is the Doppler Effect?• http://molebash.com/doppler/home.htm
![Page 53: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Doppler Effect• Sound waves move out in all directions
![Page 54: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Definition
•The Doppler effect is a change in the apparent frequency due to the motion of the source or the receiver
•Example: As an ambulance with sirens approaches, the pitch seems high. As the ambulance moves by the pitch lowers.
![Page 55: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Doppler Effect
• As the wave travels outward, the front of the wave bunches up, producing a shorter wavelength
• We hear a higher
frequency
![Page 56: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
•The back of the wave spreads out, producing a longer wavelength
•We hear a lower frequency•http://www.sounddogs.com/searchresults.asp?Keyword=Doppler
![Page 57: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
•Observer A hears a low pitch (lower frequency)•Observer B hears the correct pitch (no change in frequency)•Observer C hears a high pitch (high frequency)
![Page 58: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
When the source goes faster, the wave fronts in the front of the source start to bunch up closer and closer together, until...
![Page 59: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
The object actually starts to go faster than the speed of sound. A sonic boom is then created.
![Page 60: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Uses of the Doppler Effect• Police use Doppler to measure your speed with radar
• A frequency is sent out with a radar gun• The sound wave hits your car and bounces back to the police car• Speed can be determined based on the frequency changes
received
• Radar can be used to determine the speed of baseballs• Astronomers can determine the distance to other galaxies• Bats use Doppler to locate prey
• If the bat is catching the prey, the frequency is high• If the prey is moving away from the bat, the frequency is low
![Page 61: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Doppler Equation
• = frequency detected by observer• = frequency produced by the source• = velocity of the sound wave• = velocity of the detector (observer)• = velocity of the source
![Page 62: Sound Wave Properties](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56815000550346895dbdc8e1/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Things to remember
• The velocity detected by the observer (vd) is negative if the observer moves away from the source
• The velocity detected by the observer (vd) is positive is the observer moves toward the source
• The velocity of the source () is negative if the source moves toward the observer
• The velocity of the source () is positive if the source moves away from the observer
