Study Notes

Types of Waves

  • Mechanical Waves: require a physical medium to propagate (e.g., water, air, solids)
  • Electromagnetic Waves: do not require a physical medium to propagate (e.g., light, radio waves)

Characteristics of Waves

  • Amplitude: maximum displacement from equilibrium
  • Wavelength: distance between two consecutive points on a wave in phase
  • Frequency: number of oscillations per second (measured in Hz)
  • Speed: distance traveled by a wave per unit time
  • Period: time taken by a wave to complete one oscillation

Sound Waves

  • Definition: mechanical waves that propagate through a medium (e.g., air, water, solids) and are perceived as sound
  • Longitudinal Waves: particles oscillate back and forth along the direction of propagation
  • Sound Wave Properties:
    • Frequency: audible range: 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz
    • Speed: approximately 343 m/s in air at room temperature and atmospheric pressure

Sound Phenomena

  • Reflection: sound bouncing back from a surface
  • Refraction: change in direction of sound due to change in medium
  • Diffraction: bending of sound around an obstacle
  • Interference: superposition of two or more sound waves
  • Resonance: amplification of sound at a specific frequency

Human Perception of Sound

  • Hearing Range: 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz
  • Sound Intensity: perceived loudness of sound
  • Sound Quality: tone color or timbre, depends on frequency composition
