2. Sound and Light 1 The Nature of Light

3. Waves & Sound A. Waves 1. The nature of waves a. A wave is a rhythmic disturbance that transfers energy. b. All waves are made by something that vibrates.

4. B. Sound 1. Energy is transferred from particle to particle through matter. 2. How we hear a. Outer ear collects sound. b. Middle ear amplifies sound. c. Inner ear converts sound.

5.  The ear is a very sensitive organ.  It senses vibrations in the air then amplifies them and transmits signals to the brain

6. 3. Properties of sound a. Intensity and loudness 1) Intensity depends on the energy in a sound wave. 2) Loudness is human perception of intensity. 3) Loudness is measured on the decibel scale. b. Frequency and pitch 1) High frequency means more vibrations hitting the ear. 2) Pitch is how high or how low a sound seems to be. 3) Healthy humans can hear from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz 4) We are most sensitive from 440 Hz to 7,000 Hz.

7.  This all depends on how the particles can transmit the compressions and rare factions of sound waves  The speed of sound depends on the medium

8.  The loudness of a sound depends partly on the energy contained in the sound wave.  The intensity of a sound wave describes the rate at which a sound wave transmits energy through a given area of the medium.  The greater the intensity of a sound, the louder the sound will seem

9.  The air column in a clarinet, however vibrates at its fundamental frequency and at certain whole number multiples of that frequency called harmonics.  The sound produced by the guitar will be the loudest when the forced vibrations cause the body of the guitar to vibrate at a natural frequency called resonance.

10. a) Threshold of hearing (0 db) b) Threshold of pain (120 db)

11. 5) Ultrasonic sound has a frequency greater than 20,000 Hz. a) Dogs (up to 35,000 Hz) b) Bats (over 100,000 Hz) c) Medical diagnosis 6) Infrasonic sound has a frequency below 20 Hz; they are felt rather than heard (earthquakes, heavy machinery).

12. c. Speed of sound 1) 332 m/s in air at 0 C. 2) Changes by 0.6 m/s for every Celsius degree from 0 C. 3) Subsonic – slower 4) Supersonic – faster than sound (Mach 1 = speed of sound) 5) Sonic Boom (skip to1:35)pressure cone)Sonic Boom

13. d. The Doppler effect – the change in pitch due to a moving wave source. 1) Objects moving toward you cause a higher pitched sound. 2) Objects moving away cause sound of lower pitch. 3) Used in radar by police and meteorologists and in astronomy.

15. 4. Musical sound a. Noise has no pattern. b. Music has a pattern and deliberate pitches. c. Sound quality describes differences of sounds that have the same pitch and loudness. d. Every instrument has its own set of overtones. e. Beats are pulsing variations of loudness caused by interference of sounds of slightly different frequencies.

16. 5. Uses of sound a. Acoustics – the study of sound. Soft materials dampen sound; hard materials reflect it (echoes and reverberations). b. SONAR – Sound Navigation and Ranging (echolocation). c. Ultrasound imaging d. Kidney stones & gallstones.

17.  A sonar works by measuring the time it takes for sound waves to be reflected back from a surface.  Ultra sound imaging is used in medicine.  Using sonograms, doctors can safely view organs inside the body without having to perform surgery.  Sonograms can be used to diagnose problems, to guide surgical procedures, or even to view unborn fetusus.

28.  The rate at which light energy flows through a given area of space is referred to as its intensity.  Light waves spread out spherically from the source  Therefore intensity will drop as distance increases Sound and Light 27
