3 SOUND a range of compression wave frequencies to which the human ear is sensitive

4 The audio spectrum extends from approximately 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

5 Range of Some Common Sounds

6 Intensity Range for Some Common Sounds

7 Sounds are produced by vibrating matter Sounds are produced by vibrating matter reeds 1. reeds strings 2. strings membranes 3. membranes air columns 4. air columns Sound is a mechanical wave (longitudinal). It will not travel through a vacuum.

8 Sounds possess the characteristics and properties that are common to all waves.

9 Just like all longitudinal (compression) waves, sound waves possess a velocity, frequency, wavelength, phase, period, and amplitude. Sound waves also reflect, refract, diffract, and interfere.

10 The velocity of sound in air depends on the air temperature. The speed of sound in dry air is m/s at 0 º C. This speed increases with temperature: about 0.6 m/s for every 1 º C increase in temperature.

11 Sound generally travels fastest in solids and slowest in gases, but there are some exceptions.

12 The human ear relates amplitude to loudnessand frequency to pitch.

13 Listen to various sound frequencies here here and mixtures of sound waves here. here Click here to make your own sound waves. here You should hear that frequency relates to pitch and amplitude relates to loudness (for a given frequency).

14 Sound waves refract. Click here to view a simulation here of the refraction of sound waves.

15 The interference of sound waves can cause beats Click here and here to run computer here simulations of interfering sound waves that result in discernable beats. View interference beats here and here. here What are evidences of reflection and the diffraction of sound?

16 All objects have a natural frequency of vibration. Resonance - the inducing of vibrations of a natural rate by a vibrating source having the same frequency sympathetic vibrations

18 A resonant air column is simply a standing longitudinal wave system, much like standing waves on a string. closed-pipe resonator tube in which one end is open tube in which one end is open and the other end is closed open-pipe resonator tube in which both ends are open

19 A closed pipe resonates when the length of the air column is approximately an odd number of quarter wavelengths long. wavelengths long. l = {(1,3,5,7,…)/4} * With a slight correction for tube diameter, we find that the resonant wavelength of a closed pipe is given by the formula: = 4 (l + 0.4d), = 4 (l + 0.4d), where is the wavelength of sound, l is the length of the closed pipe, and d is the diameter of the pipe.

20 An open pipe resonates when the length of the air column is approximately an even number of quarter wavelengths long. wavelengths long. l = {(2,4,6,8,…)/4} * With a slight correction for tube diameter, we find that the resonant wavelength of an open pipe is given by the formula: = 2 (l + 0.8d), = 2 (l + 0.8d), where is the wavelength of sound, l is the length of the closed pipe, and d is the diameter of the pipe.
