Summary Link to heading
- Sound Waves
- Speed of sound waves in a medium having bulk modulus and density $$\tag{17-3} v = \sqrt{\frac{\beta}{\rho}} $$
- Interference
- If the sound waves were emitted in phase and are traveling in approximately the same direction, $\phi$ is given by $$\tag{17-21} \phi = \frac{\Delta L}{\lambda} 2 \pi. $$
- Sound Intensity
- The intensity at a distance $r$ from a point source that emits sound waves of power $P_s$ is $$\tag{17-28} I = \frac{P_s}{4\pi r^2}. $$
- Sound Level in Decibel
- The sound level b in decibels (dB) is defined $$\tag{17-29} \beta = (10 {\rm dB}) \log \frac{I}{I_0} $$ where $I_0$ ($10^{-12} \ {\rm W/m^2}$) is a reference intensity.
- Standing Waves in Pipes
- A pipe open at both ends $$\tag{17-39} f = \frac{v}{\lambda} = \frac{nv}{2L}, \ \ \ \ n = 1, 2, 3, \dots. $$
