Properties of sound

A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).

Quality Of Sound

A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vib…

Categories of Sound Wave

People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules th…

Students have asked these similar questions

Some studies suggest that the upper frequency limit of hearing is determined by the diameter of the eardrum. The wavelength of the sound wave and the diameter of the eardrum are approximately equal at this upper limit. If the relationship holds exactly, what is the diameter of the eardrum of a person capable of hearing 2.00 x 104 Hz? (Assume a body temperature of 37.0°C.)

Your experiments on a particular insulator indicate that a 20 C the average speed of sound in the insulator is Vi = 7250 m/s Its bulk modulus is Bi = 450 GPa. Experimental results from your colleague show that a certain metal alloy has a density of rom = 7500 kg/m3 and a bulk modulus of Bm = 180 Gpa. The density of the insulator roi = 8561 kg/m3. The speed of sound in the metal alloy is Vm = 4898 m/s . A) Find the total amount of time t in seconds, It takes to travel through the structure in fig 1 the length of the structure is L = 1.0 m Alloy Insulator _______________________________________ L/2 L/2

Sound is detected when a sound wave causes the eardrum to vibrate. Typically, the diameter of the eardrum is about 8.4 mm in humans. When someone speaks to you in a normal tone of voice, the sound intensity at your ear is approximately 1.0 × 10-6 W/m². What is the power delivered to your eardrum? Express your answer in watts. P = 17 ΑΣΦ ? W
