Liquids and Gases Radiation ‘Thermal energy transfer, in which energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves. No medium Land breeze Cold Land Sea Warmer Sea breeze Warmer Land Sea Cold Sound Properties of Sound Waves - Longitudinal Waves: Sound waves are longitudinal waves, meaning the particles in the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels. - Medium Dependence: Sound needs a medium. Vibrations in the medium particles create areas of compression (high pressure) and rarefaction (low pressure) that travel as the sound wave - Speed of Sound: The speed of sound varies depending on the medium. I's generally faster in solids than liquids and faster in gases. Temperature can also affect the speed of sound (higher temperature, faster sound). ‘Speed in air: 330 - 350 mis ‘Speed in water: 1500 m/s Speed in solid: 6000m/s Characteristics of Sound: = Frequency: The frequency of a sound wave determines its pitch. Measured in Hertz (Hz) - Amplitude: decibels (dB). Effects of Sound Waves: - Reflection: Sound waves can reflect off surfaces. This is how echoes are formed. - Refraction: Sound waves can bend when they travel through mediums with different densities. This can cause effects like focusing sound, - Diffraction: Sound waves can bend around comers. This is why you can hear sound even if the source is not in your direct line of sight Hearing Range: Humans can typically hear sounds between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. Sounds below 20 Hz are infrasonic, and sounds above 20,000 Hz are ultrasonic. Ultrasound - Ultrasound is the sound with a frequency greater than 20kHz - Ultrasound is used in Sonar, Medical scanning he amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness. Measured in Oscillations One oscillation period = One wavelength 1 oscillation period = A-B—C—-A Reverberation - Multiple reflections of sound - Closed environment - Initial sound (vibration) is lost Natural frequency - The specific frequency of an object, mechanical system or charged particle Resonance - Aphenomenon that occurs when a wave with the same frequency as the natural frequency of an object strikes that object, causing the object to increase the amplitude of its natural frequency.
