Speed of sound in still air: vs = 331 + 0.

60 TC
With the wind in the same direction v = vs + vw Speed of sound: gas: v = 340 m/s

liquid: v = 1500 m/s

solid: v = 5000 m/s

Sound is a longitudinal Pressure wave which is detected by our ears and analyzed by our brains.

Power is Energy/Time Intensity is Power/Area

measured in Watts Watts/m2

Intensity 4 meters from a 100 watt speaker would be: I = 100 watts/(4 R2) = 0.50 watts/m2

Intensity level, b, is a perceived loudness of a sound b = 10 Log I + 120 so our Intensity of 0.50 w/m2 would have an intensity level = 10 Log (0.50) + 120 b = 10 [ -0.30] + 120 = 117 decibels b = 117 dB

Adding waves of different frequency produces BEATS notice the amplitude is increasing and decreasing with time.

Beat frequency = n1 -n2
