Intensity of Sound: Decibels
The intensity of a wave is the energy transported per unit time across a unit area.
The human ear can detect sounds with an intensity as low as 10-12 W/m2 and as high as 1 W/m2.Perceived loudness, however, is not proportional to the intensity.
Increasing the volume of a sound increase the displacement that the air molecules undergo (amplitude).
http://njc.tl/p2
Slide 9 / 89
Intensity of Sound: DecibelsAn increase in sound level of 3 dB, which is a doubling in intensity, is a very small change in loudness.In open areas, the intensity of sound diminishes with distance:
However, in enclosed spaces this is complicated by reflections, and if sound travels through air the higher frequencies get preferentially absorbed.

The Ear and Its Response; Loudness
http://njc.tl/p7
Slide 16 / 89
The Ear and Its Response; Loudness
Outer ear: sound waves travel down the ear canal to the eardrum, which vibrates in response
Middle ear: hammer, anvil, and stirrup transfer vibrations to inner ear
Inner ear: cochlea transforms vibrational energy to electrical energy and sends signals to the brain
Sources of Sound: Vibrating Strings and Air Columns
The strings on a guitar can be effectively shortened by fingering, raising the fundamental pitch.
The pitch of a string of a given length can also be altered by using a string of different density.

Slide 42 (Answer) / 89
Quality of Sound, and Noise; Superposition
So why does a trumpet sound different from a flute? The answer lies in overtones – which ones are present, and how strong they are, makes a big difference.
The plot below shows frequency spectra for a clarinet, a piano, and a violin. The differences in overtone strength are apparent.
Musical instruments have characteristic sounds due to the relative amounts of each harmonic present. Notice that the guitar sting contains many standing waves of a variety of frequencies. What we hear is the mixture of these frequencies and this is called timbre. (Pronounced "Tamber")

Slide 56 / 89
Interference of Sound Waves
Sound waves interfere in the same way that other waves do in space.
http://njc.tl/pp
Slide 57 / 89
Interference of Sound Waves
Constructive interference occurs when two crests meet and destructive interference occurs where a crest and a trough meet.
This means that when a listener is located where constructive interference is occurring, there will be a loud spot.
And that when a listener is located where destructive interference is occurring, there will be little or no sound.
Where m is called the order of the interference fringe and x is the location of the loud spot. Note that the approximation can only be used for small angles (< 10o).

Interference of Sound Waves; BeatsWaves can also interfere in time, causing a phenomenon called beats. Beats are the slow “envelope” around two waves that are relatively close in frequency.
In general, the beat frequency is the difference in frequency of the two waves.

Doppler EffectThe Doppler effect occurs when a source of sound is moving with respect to an observer.

Slide 74 / 89
Doppler Effect
As can be seen in the previous image, a source moving toward an observer has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength; the opposite is true when a source is moving away from an observer.
30 If a sound source is moving away from the listener. The listener will experience a(an) __________ in the pitch of sound that he or she hears.

Slide 77 (Answer) / 89
Doppler EffectIf the observer is moving with respect to the source, things are a bit different. The wavelength remains the same, but the wave speed is different for the observer.
However, the effect is much the same. The observed frequency goes up as you go towards a sound source, and down if you go way from one.
http://njc.tl/px
Slide 78 / 89
Doppler Effect
For a moving source, the frequency that the listener hears is given by:
for a source moving toward a stationary observer.
Or:
for a source moving away from a stationary observer.
For a moving observer, the frequency that the observer hears is given by:
for an observer moving toward a stationary source.
Or:
for an observer moving away from a stationary source.
Slide 80 / 89
Doppler Effect
We can simplfy these equations and write a general equation for a moving source, a moving observer, or moving source and observer:
The upper signs apply if the source and/or observer are move toward each other; the lower signs apply if they are moving apart.
Slide 81 / 89
Doppler Effect
We can simplfy these equations and write a general equation for a moving source, a moving observer, or moving source and observer:
It is easy to remember which which signs to use if you remember that if the observer and source are moving toward each other the frequency should appear to increase. And if they are moving away from each other it should appear to decrease.

Shock Waves and the Sonic Boom
If a source is moving faster than the wave speed in a medium, waves cannot keep up and a shock wave is formed.

Slide 85 / 89
Shock Waves and the Sonic BoomShock waves are analogous to the bow waves produced by a boat going faster than the wave speed in water.
Aircraft exceeding the speed of sound in air will produce two sonic booms, one from the front and one from the tail.

Summary (1 of 2)
· Sound is a longitudinal wave in a medium.
· The pitch of the sound depends on the frequency.
· The loudness of the sound depends on the intensity and also on the sensitivity of the ear.
· The strings on stringed instruments produce a fundamental tone whose wavelength is twice the length of the string; there are also various harmonics present.
http://njc.tl/pz
Slide 88 / 89
Summary (2 of 2)
· Wind instruments have a vibrating column of air when played. If the tube is open, the fundamental is twice its length; if it is closed the fundamental is four times the tube length.
· Sound waves exhibit interference; if two sounds are at slightly different frequencies they produce beats.
· The Doppler effect is the shift in frequency of a sound due to motion of the source or the observer.
