Description

Sound waves are made of mechanical vibrations in air, a liquid like water or a solid like iron. The sound waves travel at a certain speed the speed of sound waves v is the atmospheric is about v= metres/second. The speed of sound in air depends on the temperature t of the air and the density q of the air. The speed of sound equation is v=()1/2. The pitch of sound waves is called the frequency. The frequency of a sound wave that is a sine wave is f. Sound that can be heard be people range in about f=7 to 10000 hertz.

Electrical resonance occurs when the capacitor and inductor in a resonance circuit are in tune with the electric signal sine wave frequency f. Figure 2b shows an electronic schematic drawing of such a resonant circuit. The resonant circuit consists of an inductor L=L1, capacitor capacitance C=C1 and a resistive electrical load R. These three circuit components form an electrical loop called a tank circuit.
