Sound tend to travel faster in liquids and solids (the molecules are closer together).
The velocity of sound in airvin air = 343 m/s
The velocity of sound in liquidvin water = 1490 m/s
The velocity of sound in a solidvin Aluminum = 5100m/s
Cool experiment – make a milkshake!
Why do we not hear collisions and explosions from outer space?
In a vacuum there are not any molecules
–Without molecules we cannot have a pressure wave
–Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Intensity of sound
Intensity depends on __________ and the _____________ from the source.
24 r
Power
Area
PowerI
PowerDistance
Spherical Waves / Plane Waves
Decibel Scale
Zero decibels refers to the threshold of hearing
log (10x) = x log 10 = x
10logx=x
log(ab)=log a + log b
log(a/b)=log a - log b
Decibel Scale
Zero decibels refers to the threshold of hearing
At a rock concert a meter placed at 2 m in front of a loudspeaker measures 130 dB. What is the power output of
the speaker?
At a rock concert a meter placed at 2 m in front of a loudspeaker measures 130 dB. How far away do I need to stand to be at a safer level of 90 dB?
If you increase the intensity by a factor of 1000, add ____ to the
