The production of sound waves • Sound waves, like all waves, are produced by VIBRATINGobjects, such as tuning fork, vocal cord, string on guitar, etc. • Sound is a MECHANICALwave that propagates through a MEDIUMfrom one location to another. • Sound is a LONGITUDINAL wave. The vibrations of medium is PARALLEL to the direction of wave motion. • The frequency of a sound wave, like all waves, is the same as its originator. • Sound cannot travel through vacuum
High pressure regions are known as compressions and low pressure regions rarefactions. • The wavelength is commonly measured as the distance from one compression to the next adjacent compression. • Since a sound wave consists of a repeating pattern of high pressure and low pressure regions moving through a medium, it is sometimes referred to as a pressure wave.
Exmaple #1 1. A sound wave is different than a light wave in that a sound wave is a. produced by an oscillating object and a light wave is not. b. not capable of traveling through a vacuum. c. not capable of diffracting and a light wave is. d. capable of existing with a variety of frequencies and a light wave has a single frequency.
Example #2 • A sound wave is a pressure wave; regions of high (compressions) and low pressure (rarefactions) are established as the result of the vibrations of the sound source. These compressions and rarefactions result because sound • is more dense than air and thus has more inertia, causing the bunching up of sound. • waves have a speed which is dependent only upon the properties of the medium. • is like all waves; it is able to bend into the regions of space behind obstacles. • is able to reflect off fixed ends and interfere with incident waves • vibrates longitudinally; the longitudinal movement of air produces pressure fluctuations.
Example #3 • As a sound wave travels through air, there is a net transfer of • energy, only • mass, only • both mass and energy • neither mass nor energy
Characteristics of sound waves • Frequency determines the pitch. • The ears of a human (and other animals) are sensitive detectors of the fluctuations in air pressure which impinge upon the eardrum. The sensation of a frequency of sound is commonly referred to as the pitch. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave.
Infrasound and ultrasound • The human ear is capable of detecting sound waves with a wide range of frequencies, ranging between approximately 20 Hz to 20 000 Hz. Any sound with a frequency below the audible range of hearing (i.e., less than 20 Hz) is known as an infrasound and any sound with a frequency above the audible range of hearing (i.e., more than 20 000 Hz) is known as an ultrasound. • Ultrasound waves can produce images.
Speed of sound depends on the medium • Sound is a mechanical wave, it depends on the medium interaction to travel. The speed of sound waves depends on how fast the particles can interact with each other. In general, sound wave travels faster in denser materials. vsolids> vliquids > vgases
Sound in air • The speed of a sound wave in air depends upon the properties of the air, namely the temperature and the pressure. • The speed of sound wave at STP is 331 m/s • At normal atmospheric pressure, the temperature dependence of the speed of a sound wave through air is approximated by the following equation: v = 331 m/s + (0.6 m/s/oC)•T • where T is the temperature of the air in degrees Celsius. • Using this equation, we can determine the speed of a sound wave in air at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius: v = 331 m/s + (0.6 m/s/oC)•(20oC) v = 331 m/s + 12 m/s v = 343 m/s
Using Wave Speed to Determine Distances • At normal atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 20oC, a sound wave will travel at approximately 343 m/s; • The speed of a sound wave is slow in comparison to the speed of a light wave. Light travels through air at a speed of approximately 3 x 108 m/s; • The time delay between the arrival of the light wave (lightning) and the arrival of the sound wave (thunder) allows a person to approximate his/her distance from the storm location. • For instance if the thunder is heard 5 seconds after the lightning is seen, then sound has traveled a distance of d = v • t = 345 m/s • 5 s = 1715 m, which means the storm is about one mile away. Every 5 seconds is about a mile.
Another phenomenon related to the perception of time delays between two events is an echo. • For instance if an echo is heard 1.40 seconds after making the holler, then the distance to the canyon wall can be found as follows: distance = v • t = 345 m/s • 0.70 s = 242 m • Echolocation is a physiological process for locating distant or invisible objects (as prey) by sound waves reflected back to the emitter (as a bat) from the objects
The Wave Equation Revisited • Like any wave, a sound wave has a speed which is mathematically related to the frequency and the wavelength of the wave. • Speed = Wavelength • Frequency v = f • λ • Even though wave speed is calculated using the frequency and the wavelength, the wave speed is not dependent upon these quantities. • An alteration in wavelength does not affect (i.e., change) wave speed. Rather, an alteration in wavelength affects the frequency in an inverse manner. • A doubling of the wavelength results in a halving of the frequency; yet the wave speed is not changed. • The speed of a sound wave depends on the properties of the medium through which it moves and the only way to change the speed is to change the properties of the medium.
Class work – today’s date • What occurs when sound passes from air into water? • Its speed decreases, its wavelength becomes smaller, and its frequency remains the same. • Its speed decreases, its wavelength becomes smaller, and its frequency increases. • Its speed increases, its wavelength becomes larger, and its frequency remains the same. • Its speed increases, its wavelength becomes larger, and its frequency decreases.
A sound wave is produced by a musical instrument for 0.50 second. If the frequency of the wave is 360 hertz, how many complete waves are produced in that time period? • An automatic focus camera is able to focus on objects by use of an ultrasonic sound wave. The camera sends out sound waves that 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? • On a hot summer day, a pesky little mosquito produced its warning sound near your ear.

True or False: Doubling the frequency of a wave source doubles the speed of the waves. • 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. • Most people can detect frequencies as high as 20 000 Hz. Assuming the speed of sound in air is 345 m/s, determine the wavelength of the sound corresponding to this upper range of audible hearing. • An elephant produces a 10 Hz sound wave. Assuming the speed of sound in air is 345 m/s, determine the wavelength of this infrasonic sound wave.

An electric bell connected to a battery is sealed inside a large jar. What happens as the air is removed from the jar? • The electric circuit stops working because electromagnetic radiation cannottravel through a vacuum. • The bell's pitch decreases because the frequency of the sound waves is lower in a vacuum than in air. • The bell's loudness increases because of decreased air resistance. • The bell's loudness decreases because sound waves cannottravel through a vacuum.
A student plucks a guitar string and the vibrations produce a sound wave with a frequency of 650 hertz. The sound wave produced can best be described as a • transverse wave of constant amplitude • longitudinal wave of constant frequency • mechanical wave of varying frequency • electromagnetic wave of varying wavelengths
Doppler Effect Stationary source Wave fronts: A wave front is the curve of all adjacent points on a wave that are in phase. To observer A and observer B, the frequency is the same everywhere.
Lower frequency, longer λ Higher frequency, short λ Moving source • The Doppler effect can be described as the effect produced by a moving source of waves, the observer, or both – • an apparentupward shift in frequency if the observers and the source is approaching each other • an apparentdownward shift in frequency if the observers and the source is moving away from each other. Relative motion creates an apparent change in frequency.
Explaining the Doppler Effect • The Doppler effect is observed because the distance between the source of sound and the observer is changing. • If the source and the observer are approaching each other, then the distance is decreasing and the waves is compressed into the smaller distance. The observer perceives sound waves reaching him or her at a more frequent rate (_______ pitch). • If the source and the observer are moving apart, then the distance is increasing. the waves can be spread apart; the observer perceives sound waves reaching him or her at a less frequent rate (____pitch). high low
It is important to note that both the speed and the frequency of the source does notchange. • The Doppler effect can be observed for any type of wave - water wave, sound wave, light wave, etc. • car horn - coming and going • As the car approached with its siren blasting, the pitch of the siren sound (a measure of the siren's frequency) was high; and then suddenly after the car passed by, the pitch of the siren sound was low. That was the Doppler effect - an apparent shift in frequency for a sound wave produced by a moving source.
Shock Waves and Sonic Booms • If a moving source of sound moves at the same speed as sound or faster than sound, then shock waves will be produced. • http://edweb.sdsu.edu/doppler/elab/elab1.htm ..\..\RealPlayer Downloads\Plane break sound barrier - sonic boom.flv
Blue shift and red shift The human eye perceives light waves of different frequencies as differences in color. The lowest frequency we can see is red and the highest frequency we can see is blue-violet. Due to Doppler effect, the apparent color of an approaching light source is shifted toward the blue end of the spectrum, while that of a receding source is shifted toward the red end.
Applications of the Doppler Effect • Police work – the speed of a car is determined by a radar system. • when a car is at rest, the sent out frequency is the same as received frequency. • If the car is moving toward the source of radar, the reflected waves have higher frequency, the greater the car’s speed, the greater the Doppler shift in frequency. • If the car is moving away from the source of radar, the reflected waves have lower frequency. • Weather stations – Doppler radars are used to determine the location and intensity of precipitation as well as directions and speed of the winds blowing around rain drops.
Class work – today’s date • A police officer's stationary radar device indicates that the frequency of the radar wave reflected from an automobile is less than the frequency emitted by the radar device. This indicates that the automobile is • moving toward the police officer • moving away from the police officer • not moving
