/Home/Sciences/Physical Science/Physics/Acoustics acoustics Votes:0 acoustics acoustics (e-k??st?ks), the science of sound , including its production, propagation, and effects. An important practical application of acoustics is in the designing of auditoriums, which requires a knowledge of the characteristics of sound waves . Reflection of sound can cause an echo, and repeated reflections in an enclosed space can cause reverberation, the persistence of sound. Some reverberation in auditoriums is desirable to avoid deadening the sound of music. Reflection can be reduced through the proper configuration and texture of walls, and by the use of sound-absorbent materials. Another acoustical problem is interference , which can create "dead spots" in auditoriums for certain frequencies.

Here's a little bit of music-related physics. Vibration Vibration is the source of all sound. Vibrating objects push against the air (or other medium- you can substitute water, jello, or whatever) around them, creating little zones of compressed air (or water, or jello). The zone of compressed air pushes against the air around it, which pushes against the air around that, and so on. Between compression pulses the air "springs" out past the pressure where it began, creating a zone of less pressure, or rarefaction . You end up with zones of compression and rarefaction that travel outward from the sound source, one after another at a rate equal to the rate of that source's vibr Read More Go to Site OAL : Ocean Acoustics Lab Votes:0 » Introduction » Research/Projects » Staff » Students » FTP server --> » WHOI Home Page » AOPE Home Page » Other Related Links » Photo Gallery » Sound Gallery » Utilities » WHOI Oceanus: Sound in the Ocean » WHOI Educational Opportunities » AOPE Dept.

However, we now understand sound to be an ordered motion of the molecules of the medium through which the sound propagates. The study of sound provides the opportunity to understand wave motion in preparation for the more abstract study of electromagnetic waves. The subject of sound should be of particular interest to anyone who enjoys music[1-7]. REFERENCES 1. J. Askill, Physics of Musical Sound , Van Nostrand: New York (1979). 2. M. J.

Any action which compresses or expand a gas creates sound waves but, like all P -waves they cannot propagate in a vacuum . The study of sound is called sonics , and the study of sound waves is called acoustics . Telephones and speakers produce the pressure changes needed to generate sound wave by modulating a vibrating membrane. A sound wave traveling through a gas has a speed (1) where is the heat capacity ratio , P is the atmospheric pressure , and is the density of the gas. This is called the speed of sound .

One convenient way to diagram a sound wave is to graph the pressure at each point in time, the way it might be picked up by a microphone for example: This simplest kind of pressure wave is called a sine wave . Interesting things to measure for a sine wave: amplitude (or loudness, size of pressure differences) usually measured in decibels (dB) wavelength frequency (or pitch) usually measured in cycles per second, or Hertz (Hz) Frequency and amplitude are independent of each other. Two sine waves may have the same frequency and different amplitudes, and vice versa.

Pull the film tight across the top in all directions till it is flat and smooth. STEP 3: Sprinkle some salt onto the top of the film. STEP 4: Get a pot and spoon. Bring it next to the bowl and strike the bottom of the pot hard to get a short, loud, sound. STEP 5: Notice that when you strike the pot the salt jumps.
