WAVES AND WAVE INTERACTIONS

Wavelength The wavelength is the horizontal distance between any two successive equivalent points on the wave. That means that the wavelength is the horizontal length of one cycle of the wave

Amplitude:            The amplitude of a sound is represented by the height of the wave. When there is a loud sound, the wave is high and the amplitude is large. Conversely, a smaller amplitude represents a softer sound.

Frequency:            Every cycle of sound has one condensation, a region of increased pressure, and one rarefaction, a region where air pressure is slightly less than normal. The frequency of a sound wave is measured in hertz. Hertz (Hz) indicate the number of cycles per second that pass a given location. If a speaker's diaphragm is vibrating back and forth at a frequency of 900 Hz, then 900 condensations are generated every second, each followed by a rarefaction, forming a sound wave whose frequency is 900 Hz.

Pitch:            How the brain interprets the frequency of an emitted sound is called the pitch. We already know that the number of sound waves passing a point per second is the frequency. The faster the vibrations the emitted sound makes (or the higher the frequency), the higher the pitch. Therefore, when the frequency is low, the sound is lower.

Constructive and Destructive Interference of Sound Waves: Constructive interference: If two waves are in phase the resultant amplitude is larger than each individual amplitude.

Destructive interference: If two waves are exactly out of phase the resultant amplitude is zero.

Diffraction:            An obstacle is no match for a sound wave; the wave simply bends around it. For example, if a stereo is playing in a room with the door open, the sound produced by the stereo will bend around the walls surrounding the opening. This bending of a wave is called diffraction. All waves exhibit diffraction, not just sound waves. Without diffraction, the sound from the stereo could only be heard directly in front of the door.

What is Reflection? Reflection is the bouncing back of energy.

WHAT IS ABSORPTION? Sound energy that, rather than being reflected, is converted to other forms of energy such as heat.

SONAR What a sonar device (depth finder / fish finder) does is to measure the amount of time for a burst of energy to travel to bottom and return to surface. This time variation is then displayed. When the depth gets deeper, the time of travel for the sound increases.

 Ultrasound Ultrasound is sound at a frequency which is outside of the range of human hearing.
