SOUND WAVES A. Sound waves are longitudinal. B. Sound waves are mechanicalthey need a medium and a vibration. C. Sound does not travel in a vacuum. Sound Waves VELOCITY OF SOUND At STP sound travels 3.31 x 102m/s > It’s 4 times faster in water. > It’s 15 times faster in metal. Will change due to temperature: v = 331m/s + 0.6(T) (T is in Celsius) Sound is a range of wave frequencies that the ear is sensitive to. (20Hz- 20,000Hz) Infrasonic sound- Sounds lower than 20Hz Ultrasonic sound- frequencies higher than 20,000Hz Transmission Range- frequencies an organism can produce ( humans 851000Hz) Hearing Ranges How does the ear work? The outer ear “catches the sound waves”. The middle ear takes the sound waves and “vibrates” the eardrum. The inner ear sends the messages to the brain.

How the ear identifies this vibration is called pitch. Pitch and frequency are directly proportional. http://www.animations.physics.unsw.edu .au/jw/sound-pitch-loudness-timbre.htm High Pitch Low Pitch FUN INFO The phone company uses a combination of frequencies to make a unique sound for each number on the phone. #1 is 687Hz and 1209Hz #2 is 687Hz and 1336Hz #3 is 687Hz and 1477Hz http://soundbible.com/tags-dial.html AMPLITUDE Amplitude- the maximum displacement of the particles from equilibrium. Amplitude determines the intensity of the sound and how loud it is. http://www.animations.physics.unsw.edu.au/jw/sound-pitch-loudnesstimbre.htm SOUND INTENSITY Sound Intensity- the rate of flow of sound energy from a source. Measured in decibels or watts/meter2 According to OSHA 85dB and higher will produce permanent hearing damage. HOMEWORK • FROM TEXT BOOK pg 369 #21-23 and #25-30 Show all formula’s and calculations!
