16: Sound

  • 16.1: Introduction
    Sound is a longitudinal wave of pressure that travels through compressible medias, which can be solid, liquid, gaseous, or made of plasma.
  • 16.2: Sound Intensity and Level
    Sound Intensity is the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate that energy is transferred by a wave.
  • 16.3: Doppler Effect and Sonic Booms
    The Doppler effect is the apparent change in frequency of a wave when the observer and the source of the wave move relative to each other.
  • 16.4: Interactions with Sound Waves
    Superposition occurs when two waves occupy the same point (the wave at this point is found by adding the two amplitudes of the waves).
  • 16.5: Further Topics
    Spherical waves come from point source in a spherical pattern; plane waves are infinite parallel planes normal to the phase velocity vector.
