Study Notes

Sound Propagation

  • Sound primarily propagates through a medium, which can be solid, liquid, or gas; air is the most common medium for everyday sound transmission.

Speed of Sound

  • The speed of sound in air at a temperature of 20°C is approximately 343 meters per second (m/s).

Factors Affecting Sound Speed

  • Various factors influence the speed of sound, including temperature, density, and elasticity of the medium; however, humidity does not significantly impact sound speed.

Sound Intensity Measurement

  • The intensity of sound is measured in decibels (dB), which quantify the pressure level of sound relative to a reference level.
