What We Know About Waves• So far, we’ve learned how to

describe a single wave in a 1delastic medium Longitudinal and transverse waves Special case: sine waves

Superposition of Waves• Consequences:

Resonances occur when the resulting standing wave

satisfies the boundary condition of the problem.

These are that the Amplitude must be zero at point A

and point B and arise from the fact that the strin

Sound• Most of the wave phenomena can be demonstrated

with sound• Sound waves: longitudinal waves in elastic materials

Can be solids or fluids, but we normally associate soundwith propagation through air

Wavefront: locations of maxima Ray direction: normal to wavefront Mathematically:

propagation Property of the medium

Depends on elasticity and density of the material

Consider a wave that is incident normally on a surface

of area . The wave transports energy. As a result

power (energy per unit time) passes through .

The auditory sensation in humans is proportional to the logarithm of the

sound intensity . This allows the ear to percieve a wide range of

sound intensities. The threshold of hearing o

Sound Frequencies• Human ear is built for large dynamic range

rather than high precision Audible range: linear frequencies f ~20 Hz…20 kHz Below 20 Hz: infrasound (which dogs hate) Above 20 Hz: ultrasound (which bats and dolphins love)

• Musical note scale: logarithmic fn = f0*2n/12 where n is the step number relative to the

frequency f0 (base of the octave) This scale is logarithmic, because log2(fn)=log2(f0)+n/12 12 frets/octave on a guitar, 12 keys on a piano Example: f(C4)=256 Hz, f(C5)=512 Hz
