Sound

● Sound is a mechanical
Sound wave.

● It can travel in air.

● Solid is the best


transmitter of sound;
sound travels fastest in
solids and slowest in
gases.
● However, sound cannot
travel in vacuum because
it needs a medium in
order to propagate.
Waves are

perpendicular
disturbance

away from a
source and
carries energy
with it.
Characteristics and
Properties of Sounds AMPLITUDE
the maximum displacement from
the rest position. It is the
height of the crest or depth of a
trough measured from the normal
undisturbed position.

WAVELENGTH
(λ) the distance between two
successive crests or two
successive troughs. It is also equal
to the distance between any two
identical points on successive
waves.
Characteristics and
Properties of Sounds FREQUENCY
(f) is the number of crests or
troughs that pass a point per
second. This is equivalent to the
number of complete waves
generated per second. Frequency is
measured in terms of hertz (Hz).
PERIOD
(T) is the time taken to generate
one complete wave. It is also the
time taken for the crests or any
given point on the wave to move a
distance of one wavelength.
Characteristics and
Properties of Sounds SPEED OR VELOCITY
● the distance moved by a
wave in one second.
● Since the wave crest travels
a distance of one
wavelength in one period,
the wave speed;

Measuring Waves
➢ EX: Find the velocity of a wave in a wave pool if its
wavelength is 3.2 m and its frequency is 0.60 Hz.
GIVEN: WORK:
v=? v=×f
 = 3.2 m v = (3.2 m)(0.60 Hz)
f = 0.60 Hz v v = 1.92 m/s
 f
Measuring Waves

➢ EX: An earthquake produces a wave that has a wavelength


of 417 m and travels at 5000 m/s. What is its frequency?

GIVEN: WORK:
 = 417 m f=v÷
v = 5000 m/s f = (5000 m/s) ÷ (417 m)
f=? v f = 11.99 Hz
 f

DECIBEL
● (dB) as a unit of sound
intensity level.
● The human ear does not
detect loudness linearly.
● Zero decibel ( 0 dB) is
barely
audible level.
TIMBER
● It is the Tone color or

● This is the independent
