3 Units of Chapter 14 Sound Waves The Speed of Sound Sound Intensity and Sound Intensity Level Sound Phenomena The Doppler Effect Musical Instruments and Sound Characteristics © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

4 14.1 Sound Waves Sound waves are pressure waves in solids, liquids, and gases. They are longitudinal in liquids and gases, and may have transverse components in solids. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

5 14.1 Sound Waves These pressure waves hit the eardrum and are converted to nerve impulses, which our brains interpret as sound. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

6 14.1 Sound Waves Infrasonic waves have frequencies too low for human ears. They are produced by earthquakes and other natural phenomena; elephants and cows can hear certain frequencies. Ultrasonic waves are too high in frequency for human ears. Dogs, cats, and bats can hear higher frequencies. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

7 14.1 Sound Waves Ultrasound is used in nature by bats for echolocation; they can identify the location and speed of flying insects. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

8 14.1 Sound Waves Ultrasound is also used commercially— in electric toothbrushes, jewelry cleaning, and many medical applications, both diagnostic and treatment. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

9 14.2 The Speed of Sound Speed of sound in a solid: Here, Y is Young’s modulus and ρ is the density. Speed of sound in a liquid: B is the bulk modulus. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

10 14.2 The Speed of Sound Speed of sound in dry air: Note the dependence on temperature. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

11 14.3 Sound Intensity and Sound Intensity Level Intensity is the power per unit area; it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from a point source. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

12 14.3 Sound Intensity and Sound Intensity Level We perceive sound intensity as loudness; the minimum detectable sound has an intensity of about 1.0 × 10 –12 W/m 2, and the threshold of pain occurs at an intensity of about 1.0 W/m 2. A doubling of loudness corresponds to an increase in intensity of about a factor of 10. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

13 14.3 Sound Intensity and Sound Intensity Level Sound intensity is measured on a logarithmic scale, in decibels: © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

15 14.3 Sound Intensity and Sound Intensity Level Excessive sound intensities can permanently damage hearing—protect your ears! © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

16 14.4 Sound Phenomena Reflection: the “bouncing” of sound waves off a surface Refraction: the “bending” of sound waves as they pass through a varying medium Diffraction: the “bending” of sound waves around an obstacle or opening © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

17 14.4 Sound Phenomena Sound refracts when the density of air changes. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

18 14.4 Sound Phenomena Interference occurs when multiple waves propagate through the same medium. Interference may be either constructive or destructive. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

19 14.4 Sound Phenomena Whether the interference is constructive or destructive depends on the phase and path length difference of the two waves. The relationship between the phase difference and the path length difference: © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

20 14.4 Sound Phenomena For constructive interference: For destructive interference: © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

21 14.4 Sound Phenomena If two sounds are very close in frequency, we perceive them as “beats”—variations in sound intensity. The beat frequency is the difference of the two frequencies: © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

22 14.5 The Doppler Effect As a car or train horn approaches you and then passes by, the pitch of the sound first rises and then falls. This is called the Doppler effect. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

23 14.5 The Doppler Effect The motion of the source causes the wavelength as received by the observer to be shorter when the source is approaching, resulting in a higher frequency. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

24 14.5 The Doppler Effect The effect when the source is receding is the same except for the sign of its velocity. Combining both possibilities gives: © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

25 14.5 The Doppler Effect Similarly, if the source is stationary and the observer is moving, The Doppler effect occurs with electromagnetic waves as well; this is how a radar gun works. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

26 14.5 The Doppler Effect If an object is moving faster than the speed of sound, it will outpace its sound waves, creating a sonic boom. A similar phenomenon produces the wake from a boat—it is going faster than the wave speed in water. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

27 14.5 The Doppler Effect The angle of the shock wave depends on the wave speed and the speed of the object. M is called the Mach number. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

28 14.6 Musical Instruments and Sound Characteristics Many musical instruments produce sound via standing waves, in one way or another. Strings support standing waves; the length of the string can be varied on some instruments such as violins and guitars. Piano strings are fixed-length; their density varies from one note to the next, keeping the length difference from lowest to highest to a minimum. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

29 14.6 Musical Instruments and Sound Characteristics Standing waves can also exist in tubes or pipes, such as woodwind and brass instruments. Organ pipes are fixed in length; there is one (or more) for each key on the keyboard. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

30 14.6 Musical Instruments and Sound Characteristics The pitch of woodwind instruments can be varied by covering and uncovering holes in the tube. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

31 14.6 Musical Instruments and Sound Characteristics The sensitivity of the human ear to sound varies with frequency. Sounds of the same intensity at different frequencies will not sound equally loud. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

32 14.6 Musical Instruments and Sound Characteristics In general, the way we perceive sound is related to its physical properties, but depends on other factors as well. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

33 14.6 Musical Instruments and Sound Characteristics The quality of a sound—that which distinguishes a violin from a bagpipe from a human voice—depends on the shape of its waveform. The fundamental frequency, which we perceive as the pitch, is enhanced by overtones, giving the sound its characteristic quality. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

34 14.6 Musical Instruments and Sound Characteristics The sum of the fundamental frequency and the overtones gives the final waveform. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

35 Summary of Chapter 14 The sound frequency spectrum is divided into infrasonic, audible, and ultrasonic frequencies. The speed of sound depends on the elasticity and density of the medium; in general, sound travels faster in liquids than in gases, and faster in solids than in liquids. The intensity varies inversely as the square of the distance from a point source. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

36 Summary of Chapter 14 The sound intensity level scale is logarithmic, and is measured in decibels. Sound wave interference from two point sources depends on phase and path length difference. Interference may be either constructive or destructive. The Doppler effect is a shift in wavelength due to the motion of source, observer, or both. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

37 Summary of Chapter 14 An object traveling faster than the speed of sound in a medium will create a shock wave (sonic boom). Standing waves may be formed inside both closed and open pipes. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
