SOUND • KEY TOPICS • NATURE OF SOUND • AUDIO SPECTRUM • RESONANCE & FORCED VIBRATION • INTERFERENCE • REFLECTION & REFRACTION
SOUND • SOUND ANIMATION • DEMO
SOUND • LONGITUDINAL WAVES ON A SLINKY • DEMO
SOUND • SOUND IS THE COHERENT VIBRATIONS OF ATOMS OR MOLECULES IN SOLIDS, LIQUIDS AND GASSES. • INCOHERENT VIBRATIONS ARE CALLED HEAT.
ACTIVITY • SOURCES OF SOUND • SOUND MEDIA
SOUND SOUND SPECTRUM INFRASOUND < 20 HZ • AUDIBLE SOUND > 20 HZ • AND < 20 KHZ DEMO ULTRASOUND >20 KHZ
SOUND • The PHET simulator “SOUND” can be used to demonstrate sounds up to 1kHz.
ACTIVITY • HARRY’S SOUND SORT • SORTING SOUNDS
SOUND • THE SPEED OF SOUND IN AIR IS APPROXIMATELY • 330 m/s • 1000 ft/s DEMO • THIS IS ALSO DESIGNATED MACH 1 • THE SPEED DEPENDS ON TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE AND HUMIDITY
SOUND • IF ONE SEES A LIHTNING FLASH AND 15 SECONDS LATER, HEARS THE THUNDER, THEN THE DISTANCE TO THE FLASH IS _______ MILES. • A. 3 • B. 15 • C. 1 • D. 30
RESONANCE • VIBRATING AT A NATURAL FREQUENCY • ENERGY CAN BE TRANSFERRED EFFICIENTLY TO A VIBRATING OBJECT VIA RESONANCE. DEMO
RESONANCE • The Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse is one of the most dramatic examples of resonance. • DEMO
RESONANCE • RESONANCE IS USED TO PRODUCE MUSICAL NOTES WITH A DEFINITE FRQUENCY. • EXAMPLES OF VIBRATING OBJECTS • STRINGS • AIR COLUMNS • SURFACES (DRUMS) DEMO
ACTIVITY • Singing Rod • Wine Glass • Corrugated Horn
ACTIVITY • RUBBER BAND GUITAR • CHANGES IN FREQUENCY • CLIP NOTES
FORCED VIBRATION • VIBRATING AT A NON-RESONANT FREQUENCY • IT IS OFTEN APPLIED TO THE AMPLIFICATION OF SOUND
ACTIVITY • CHICKEN CLUCKER
MUSICAL SOUNDS • DIATONIC SCALE • POPULAR IN EARLY WESTERN EUROPEAN MUSIC (VOCAL) • AN OCTAVE CONTAINED THE FAMILIAR PATTERN OF • DO RE ME FA SO LA TI DO • C D E F G A B C • THE DO AT THE END OF THE OCTAVE HAD TWICE THE FREQUENCY OF THE DO AT THE BEGINNING • FREQUENCIES ARE WHOLE NUMBER RATIOS OF EACH OTHER
MUSICAL SOUNDS • EQUITEMPERED SCALE • THE FREQUENCY OF EACH NOTE IS OBTAINED FROM THE NEXT SMALLER NOTE BY MULTIPLYING BY THE TWELTH ROOT OF TWO (1.059463) • EACH OCTAVE HAS THIRTEEN NOTES • THE NOTES ARE • C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C • THE SHARPS ARE THE BLACK KEYS ON A PIANO
ACTIVITY • NOTE BEATERS
SOUND INTERFERENCE • The PHET simulator “SOUND” can be used to show the superposition of sound from two different sources.
BEATS • THE INTERFERENCE OF SOUND FROM TWO DIFFERENT SOURCES • IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN THE FREQUENCY AND LOUDNESS OF THE SOUNDS ARE SIMILAR • THE BEAT FREQUENY IS CALCULATED BY TAKING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO FREQUENCIES fb = fl - fs
ACTIVITY • BEATS WITH TWO TUNING FORKS
QUALITY THE QUALITY OF A SOUND IS DETERMINED BY THE INTENSITY OF THE HARMONICS PRESENT.
QUALITY The PHET simulator “FOURIER: MAKING WAVES” can be used to show how the quality can be changed by varying the harmonics present.
PITCH • THE AUDITORY PERCEPTION OF FREQUENCY
REFLECTION OF SOUND • REVERBERATION • RE-REFLECTED SOUND THAT OCCURS IN CONFINED AREAS SO THAT THE REFLECTED SOUND CAN NOT BE DISTINGUISHED FROM THE SOURCE • EXAMPLE - EMPTY ROOM
REFLECTION OF SOUND • ECHO THE SOUND IS THAT NORMALLY REFLECTED OUTSIDE OR IN LARGE ENCLOSED AREAS SO THAT THE REFLECTED SOUND CAN BE DISTINGUISHED FROM THE SOURCE.
SOUND REFRACTION • THE CHANGE IN THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL OF A SOUND WAVE DUE TO CHANGES IN ITS SPEED. • IT IS OFTEN CAUSED BY TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES IN THE AIR.
TOYS WITH SOUND • CAN YOU EXPALAIN HOW MUSICAL TOYS OR NOISE MAKERS PRODUCE OR CONTROL SOUND?
