3 Helmholtz Equation Let p(r,t) = p(r)e iωt Rectangular Coordinate: Plane Waves p(x, y, z) ~ e ±ik r Spherical Symmetry: Spherical Waves With p(r) ~ e±ikr r k And note that is the equation of a plane and therefore a surface of constant phase

4 Energy, Energy Density,Power and Intensity (plane wave) Instantaneous Energy Density: E(t)=P.E. +K.E (Average) Energy Density: E Intensity, I, is average rate of flow of energy through a unit area normal to the direction of propagation Power is energy rate (e.g., watt) = ρ 0 v 2 rms = p 2 rms ρ 0 c 2 = p rms v rms c = ρ 0 v 2 = p2 ρ 0 c = pv 2 c I ~ c X E = ρ 0 cv rms 2 = p rms 2 ρ 0 c = p rms v rms

5 GEOMETRIC SPREADING

6 UNITS DECIBEL (db re_ ): 10 LOG (Intensity/Intensityref) = 20 LOG (Pressure/Pressureref) Air: Pressureref = 20 µ Pa ( 1 Atmosphere = 194 db = 10 5 Pa) Water: Pressureref = µ Pa 20 LOG 20 = 26 db Same db in air is higher pressure!!!!

7 Units cont d Where do the intensity numbers come from? Intensity is flow of energy through a unit area = energy/ (time x area) Energy/time = power (e.g. watts) Intensity units => Watts/m 2 INTENSITY (plane wave) = P 2 rms /(ρc)

8 Units cont d ρc water = 1.5 x 10 6 kg/m 2 s ρc air = ρc water /3500 and 0 db re µpa in water: Intensity of µpa plane wave in water is =.67 x watts/m 2 Int of 20 µpa in air = /.67 x = 1.5 x 10 6 Intensity of µpa in water In db: 61.7 db which is (about) the same as Log 3500
