SOUND

- The science of sound has gone all the way from a mere transfer of energy to the
creation of tunes and music for entertainment, our gadgets; cellphone, laptops.
They our sound embedded that amuse us.
- Even in the field of geology or oceanography they are using sound to determine the
depth of the ocean.
- In Health sciences, they are using sound for medical purposes, ex; ULTRASOUND
- Also in animals, some of them are dependent on sound for ecological purposes and
some animals are dependent on sound for movement.

SOUND

- If you remember you encountered and study the 2 types of wave

Transverse waves

-Particle motion is to perpendicular the direction of wave motion.

-This type of wave is a mechanical wave called a transverse wave. For example, light
or even Mexican wave in a stadium.

Longitudinal waves

-When the particles of the medium travel parallel to the direction of the wave motion by
means of successive compression or rarefaction.

-It is also a mechanical wave.

-Example: a slinky

- Since we are going to tackled sound, we know that sound waves are example of
Longitudinal waves
- sound waves exhibit different characteristics features
 FREQUENY
 AMPLITUDE
 WAVELENGTH
 PERIOD
 WAVE SPEED
Longitudinal waves

- If we will going to describe the motion of it, it’s movement is like a slinky “back and
forth” para silang naghihilahan
- You will notice that there is alternating pushing and pulling mechanically exerts
force on unit areas of air particles and thus creating pressure waves
- Now this alternation compresions and rarefractions make up the longitudinal waves
like sound waves.

WHAT IS COMPRESSION AND RAREFRACTION

- It is a two part of longitudinal waves

- IF YOU NOTICE THE WAVE IN SLINKY, if the part that stretch it called rarefraction.
But when it compress it called compression.
- That is longitudinal waves and that is the sound waves look like

THE SPEED OF SOUND MAY DIFFER FO DIFFERENT TYPES, OF SOLIDS, LIQUIDS AND
GASES

Sound Properties

Introduction to sound waves

– Sound needs a medium to propagate. The matter or material through which sounds
propagates is called a medium.
- Even those things that have elastic properties
 SOUND can travel FASTER in mediums with HIGHER ELASTIC POPERTIES than in
LOWER ELASTIC PROPERTIES
 Also the BOND STRENGTH between particles also affect the speed of sound
 The speed of sound dependent to the strength bond of every particle

IT MEANS, among SOLID, LIQUID AND GASES where does sound can travel fastest.

- Describe the particles of solid, liquid and gas.

- You will notice that in SOLID, the particles are sobrang dikit dikit.
- But in liquid there is spaces, but not totally far from each other
- But in gases you will notices the particles has a lot of spaces

WHY SOUND CAN TRANSFER FASTER IN SOLID/

- Because solid has a higher bond strength of particle.

EXAMPLE; In a oval, you and friend talking, the closer you with her that higher the chance to
understand what he said, vice versa.

- Mabagal ang travel ng sound pa gang mga particles ay magkakalayo.

SECOND ONE THAT AFFECT THE SPEED OF SOUND IS DENCITY

-DENSITY is the mass of the substance per volume (kakapalan ng substance)

-The greater the density of a medium, the slower the speed of sound, Because sound wave is
also made up with kinetic energy, which means it takes more energy to make large molecules
vibrate than it does to make smaller molecule vibrate
TMPERATURE OF THE MEDIUM

- When we say temperature it has something to do with heat and heat is like sound it is a
form of kinetic energy, so molecules that in higher temperature there is a lot of energy and it
can vibrate faster and allow the sound waves to travel more quickly
- PAG MATAAS ANG TEMPERATURE MAS MABILIS MAGTATRAVEL ANG SOUND,
DAHIL SILA AY NAGBUBUNGGUAN, Collide with one another so the transfer of sound is
faster
- MOLECULE AT HIGHER TEMPERATURE HAVE MORE ENERGY AND THEY CAN
VIBRATE FASTER
- SINCE THE MOLECULES VIBRATE FASTER, SOUND WAVES CAN TRAVEL MORE
QUICKLY.

FORMULA;

The speed of sound in the room temperature is at 0degree Celsius is around 331 m/s

The speed of sound increases by 0.60 m/s with every increase of 1 degree Celsius

This can be express in:

V= 331 m/s + (0.6m/s. Degree C) X T

V= SPEED T= Temperature in degree c

Example:

What is the speed of sound in the air if the temperature is 30C ? ( cancel out the decree C)

What is the temperature of air if the speed of sound is 346 m/s?

SOLUTION:

346 M/S= 331 m/s + (0.60m/s/ Degree C) X T

346 M/S - 331 m/s + (0.60m/s/ Degree C) X T

15 m/s = ( 0.60 m/s/Degree C) X T

T= 15 / 0.60 DEGREE C

T= 25 C
