Sounds
Background InformationThe Science of Sound has gone all the way from a mere transfer of
energy to thecreation of tunes and music for diversion. SOUND it's
composed of waves of compression and concentration during which the
human ear is sensitive. Sound is made once a vibration causes
pressure variations within the medium.
Sound consists of waves of air particles. Generally,
sound propagates and travels through air. It also can be
propagated through different media. Since it wants a medium
to propagate, it's thought of a mechanical wave. In
propagating sound, the waves are characterized as
longitudinal waves. These are waves that travel parallel to
the motion of the particles
Sound could be a pressure disturbance that moves through a medium
within thesort of mechanical waves. Once a force is exerted on an Associate in a Nursing
atom, it moves from its rest or equilibrium position and exerts a force on the adjacent
particles.These adjacent particles are moved from their rest position, and this continues
throughout the medium. This transfer of energy from one particle to the future is however
sound travels through a medium. The words "mechanical wave" is accustomed to
describing the distribution of energy through a medium by the transfer ofenergy from one
particle to the future. Waves of sound energy move outward altogetherdirections from the
supply. Your vocal cords and therefore the strings on a stringed instrument are each source
that vibrate to supply sound waves. while not energy, there would be no sound.
THE SPEED OF SOUND IN OTHER MATERIALS

Material Speed of Sound

Rubber 60 m/s
Air at 40oC 355 m/s
Air at 20 oC 343 m/s
Lead 1210 m/s
Gold 3240 m/s
Glass 4540 m/s
Copper 4600 m/s
Aluminum 6320 m/s

Temperature and the speed of sound

Temperature is also a condition that affects the speed of sound. Heat, like sound, is a
form of kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can
vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel morequickly. The
speed of sound in room temperature air is 346 meters per second. This is
faster than 331 meters per second, which is the speed of sound in air at freezing
temperatures.
The formula to find the speed of sound in air is as follows:

v = 331 m + 0.6m/s (T)

s C

v is the speed of sound and T is the temperature of the air and 0.6 𝑚/𝑠 𝐶 is a constantfactor
of temperature. One thing to keep in mind is that this formula finds the averagespeed of
sound for any given temperature. The speed of sound is also affected by otherfactors such
as humidity and air pressure.
 The speed of sound is directly affected by the temperature of the medium. The
hotter the medium the faster the sound travels. Heat, just like sound, is a form of kinetic energy.
At higher temperatures, particles have more energy (kinetic) and thus, vibrate faster. And
when particles vibrate faster, there will be more collisions per unit time.

Sample Problem: What is the speed of sound in air of 25°

Celsius?
Given: T = 25° Celsius
Solution:

ν=331 m + 0.6m/s (T)

s C
ν= 331 m + 0.6m/s (25°C)
s C
ν= 331 m + 15 m
s s
ν= 346 m

Activity 1: Problem Solving

Directions: Solve the following problems and show your solutions on the box.
1.What is the speed of sound in air of 30° Celsius?

2. What is the speed of sound in air of 15° Celsius?

Activity 2 - Talk through a String Telephone

Here's how to make a telephone using paper cups
and string.Here's what you need:

● Two paper clips

● Two paper cups
● About 3 yards (2.7 meters) of string
● Pin

Here's what to do:

1. Make a hole in the center of the base of

both cups, using the pin.

2. Tie one paperclip to one end of the string.

3. Pull the other end of the string through the hole in one of the paper cups. The
paperclipshould be inside the paper cup.

4. Insert the free end of the string into the hole in the bottom of the second paper
cup.Insert it from the outside of the cup.

5. Pull enough string through the hole to enable you to tie the second paperclip to the
endof the string.

6. Pull the cups apart so that in each cup the paperclip rests flat on the floor of the cup
and the string is taut, take one cup, and have a sibling/friend take the second cup.
Walk away from each other until the string is taut, you're now ready to use your paper
cup phone.
 REMINDERS:
1. Take a picture of your paper cup phone. Send it to your teacher.
2. Answer the guide questions.

Guide Questions:
1. How does sound travels along the strings?
2. Which produces the best sound, the short or the longest distance?
