  1. Ch. 18 - Waves & Sound III. Music • Music vs. Noise • Resonance • Harmonics • Interference • Acoustics

  2. A. Music vs. Noise • Music • specific pitches and sound quality • regular pattern • Noise • no definite pitch • no set pattern

  3. B. Resonance • Forced Vibration • when one vibrating object forces another object to vibrate at the same frequency • results in a louder sound because a greater surface area is vibrating • used in guitars, pianos, etc.

  4. B. Resonance • Resonance • special case of forced vibration • object is induced to vibrate at its natural frequency

  5. B. Resonance “Galloping Gertie” The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster Wind through a narrow waterway caused the bridge to vibrate until it reached its natural frequency.

  6. C. Harmonics • Fundamental • the lowest natural frequency of an object • Overtones • multiples of the fundamental frequency

  7. Constructive - louder Destructive - softer D. Interference • Interference • the ability of 2 or more waves to combine to form a new wave

  8. D. Interference • Beats • variations in sound intensity produced by 2 slightly different frequencies • both constructive and destructive interference occur

  9. Anechoic chamber - designed to eliminate reverberation. E. Acoustics • Acoustics • the study of sound • Reverberation • echo effect produced by the reflection of sound
