Chapter 15: SoundsChapter 15: SoundsProperties of Sound:
1. Propagates in a longitudinal wave.2. Alternating series of high pressure
(compression) and low pressure (rarefaction).
3. Speed defined by the wavelength and frequency of a wave.
v = wavelength x frequencya. wavelength: distance between compressions.b. frequency (Hz): the number of
oscillations in time.
VelocityVelocity
Characteristics of the velocity of sound:1. depends on temperature and medium
a. vacuum: no soundb. cool air moves slower than warm
air due to refraction (bends more in cool air) ie: ‘Red October’
c. normal 343 m/s @ 20oC and 1 atm or 331 m/s + (0.6 m/s ) T = 343 m/s
d. exhibits properties of reflection, refraction, interference, and
diffraction
f. Speed of sound depends on the the elasticity of the medium.g. Sound travels 4x faster in liquids and 15x faster in solids as compared to air. h. Properties that affect the speed of sound in air are
(1) pressure, (2) denisity of the medium and (3) the molecular mass of the
medium.
SamplerSampler1. A sound wave has a frequency of 261.6
Hz at 20oC. What is the wavelength?ans: 1.31 m
2. Sound with a frequency of 261.6 Hz travels through water at a speed of 1435 m/s. Find the wavelength in water?ans: 5.485 m
3. Find the frequency of a sound wave at 20oC with a wavelength of 0.667 m?ans: 514 Hz
HW: #1-5, p 405 and #31 & 33, p424
The Doppler ShiftThe Doppler Shift
The apparent shift in frequency as a sound source approaches a listener. Note a decrease wavelength is an increase in frequency.
The Doppler ShiftThe Doppler Shift
Equation:fd = fs [ v + vd / v – vs ]
fd = frequency detected
fs = frequency from the source
v = standard velocity of sound in air @ 20oC
vd = Speed of the detector (person hearing the sound)
vs = speed from the source
Doppler ShiftDoppler Shift
A train whistles sounds at a frequency of 500 Hz as it approaches the terminal traveling at 40 m/s. A person at the terminal at rest would detect a frequency of what?
Relationship Pitch and Relationship Pitch and FrequencyFrequency
Pitch and frequency are the sameOctave: frequency changes in a 2:1 ratio
For every doubling of frequency, the octave change by 1
2(f) = 1 ovtave higher½(f) = 1 octave lower
C @ 262 Hz = C @ 523 or 523/2 = 262F @ 349.2 Hz = 698.4 Hz or 698.4/2 =
349.2
LoudnessLoudness
The amplitude of the wave defines the loudness of the sound.
Loudness is measured in decibels (dB). This unit is derived from the ratio of the pressure of the sound to the pressure of the lightest sound
ResonanceResonance
Sound is produced by the vibration of matter. If the vibration of the sound is equal to the natural vibration of the material, then the wave vibration is additive.
Results in a standing wave
Closed-end ResonatorClosed-end ResonatorTube with one end closed. Vibrations travel down the column
and then reflect back. When the vibrations are in phase, ‘resonance’ occurs at a region of high pressure(gets louder) .
L = λ/4 L = v / 2f λ = 4L
L = 3λ/4 λ = 4L/3
L = 5λ/4 λ = 4L/5
Resonance Spacing = λ/2
L = v / 2f from a v = λf

Open-ended ResonanceOpen-ended ResonanceBoth end at open: In phase vibrations
occur at a region of lower pressure. First Harmonic: L = λ / 2 λ = 2L
Second Harmonic: L = ʎ λ = L
Third Harmonics: L = 3λ/2 λ = 2L/3
SamplerSampler1. An automatic focus camera is able to
focus on objects by use of an ultrasonic sound wave. The camera sends out sound waves which reflect off distant objects and return to the camera. A sensor detects the time it takes for the waves to return and then determines the distance an object is from the camera. If a sound wave (speed = 340 m/s) returns to the camera 0.150 seconds after leaving the camera, how far away is the object?
Ans: 25.5 m
2. The annoying sound from a mosquito is produced when it beats its wings at the average rate of 600 wingbeats per second.
What is the frequency in Hertz of the sound wave?
Ans: 600 Hz Assuming the sound wave moves
with a velocity of 340 m/s, what is the wavelength of the wave?
Ans: 0.567 m
3. Doubling the frequency of a wave source doubles the speed of the waves. True or False?Ans: False, 2x frequency = ½ wavelength
Speed is uneffected by frequency4. Playing middle C on the piano keyboard
produces a sound with a frequency of 256 Hz. Assuming the speed of sound in air is 345 m/s, determine the wavelength of the sound corresponding to the note of middle C. Ans: 1.35 m
