Example Your ears are sensitie to dierences in pitch, but they are not ery sensitie to dierences in intensity. You are not capable o detecting a dierence in sound intensity leel o less than 1 db. By what actor does the sound intensity increase i the sound intensity leel β increases rom 60 db to 61 db? 2 1 I (10 db)log I (10 db)log 1 db (10 db)log I I 10 I I 2 1 0 0 2 1 10 10 I0 I0 2 (10 db)log I 10 I 1 I 1 db 2 0.1 10...

tanding ound Waes In open or closed air pipes sound waes will orm standing waes when the air is rhythmically excited at the appropriate requency This is the basis or all wind-instruments: organs, lutes, etc. Note that the elocity o sound in air is ixed ( = 344 m/s or normal conditions), thus the product o λ = is ixed, and and λ are NOT independent! As or standing waes on a string under tension, we expect the waelength λ o the standing wae, and the length o the pipe, to be similarly related. At an OPEN END o the pipe, the pressure is closely equal to the ambient atmospheric pressure: i.e. there must be a PREURE NODE NO such situation occurs or a COED END; in act there the PREURE has an ANTI-NODE (maximum amplitude) ecture 32 6
Wind Pipes Considering the aboe statements, we arrie at the ollowing picture (where we depict an OPEN-ENDED pipe, and graph the standing PREURE waes Δp(x,t) on top: λ 1 /2 λ 2 /2 λ 4 /2 A harmonic series appears (we show the 1 st, 2 nd, and 4 th harmonic), goerned by the statement that a whole number o hal-waelengths must it in length o the pipe : i.e.: = n(λ n /2), with: n=1,2,3, or: λ n = 2/n = λ 1 /n or: n = /λ n = n /(2) = n 1 the DIPACEMENT graph looks dierent: the place where pressure has a NODE, displacement has an ANTI-NODE and ice ersa, because there the motions o the molecules (displacing themseles to keep local pressure constant) is most iolent ecture 32 7
topped Wind Pipes Consider now a TOPPED pipe: a pipe with one OPEN end, and one COED END (or example the clarinet), and graph the standing PREURE waes Δp(x,t) on top: Careul inspection shows that a dierent harmonic series appears (we show the 1 st, 3 rd, and 7 th harmonic): λ 1 /4 λ 2 /4 i.e.: = (2n 1) λ n /4, with: n=1,2,3, (Note: (2n 1)is odd!) equialently: = n odd λ n /4, with: n=1,3,5, (ODD harmonics only) or: λ n = 4/n odd = λ 1 /n odd or: n = /λ n = n odd /(4) = n odd 1 λ 4 /4 ecture 32 8
Resonance arge displacement/pressure waes will occur when the exciting orce is acting in sync with the NATURA FREQUENCY o the pipe (or other type o instrument). Absent damping, the displacements can become uncomortably large! Resonance is used in many instruments to enhance particular (oer)tones (e.g. bass relex tube, iolin/guitar body case) Example: A 0.40 m long, one-side-closed organ pipe is in exact resonance with a 0.50 m guitar string; both ibrate at the undamental tone. Calculate string : pipe =λ pipe 1 /4 and string =λ string 1 /2 pipe = air /(λ pipe 1 =4 pipe ) = string = string /(λ string 1 =2 string ) string = air 2 string /(4 pipe ) = 0.625 344 m/s = 215 m/s Calculate the λ and o the sound waes in the air: λ 1 = 4 pipe = 1.60 m, 1 = air /λ 1 =344/1.60 = 215 Hz Calculate the λ and o the standing wae on the guitar string: λ 1 =2 string =1.0 m; check: 1 = string /λ 1 =215/1.00=215 Hz ecture 32 10
Intererence Intererence is the destructie or constructie addition o displacements by waes arriing rom two or more sources at a set o spatial locations. Intererence is a consequence o the UPERPOITION PRINCIPE, which says that disturbances caused by indiidual waes at any gien point simple ADD this is a consequence o the linear character o the wae equation Thus, a trough rom one wae may coincide with an equally high peak o another, with the result there is no dis-placement at all: destructie intererence. uch a dead spot will persist i the two waes hae exactly the same requency. I the waes hae a slightly dierent requency, beat waes may occur: ( kx1t) ( kx2t) ( kx1t) ( kx2t) y(,) xt Acos( kx1t) Acos( kx 2t) 2A cos cos 2 2 12 12 1 1 2Acoskx t cos t 2Acos( kxt)cos 2 2 t 2Acos 2 t 2 cos( kxt) This is a traeling wae, with a requency equal to the aerage requency o the initial waes, and an amplitude which is modulated (i.e. aries in time) with a much smaller requency equal to hal the dierence o the original requencies. The INTENITY is proportional to the amplitude squared, and thus the beat requency we hear is simply equal to the (absolute alue o) the dierence in original requencies: 2 1 1 I cos t 1 cos( t ) 2 double-angle ormula 2 ecture 32 11

Doppler Eect: = (+ )/(+ ) Doppler eect: requency o receied sound depends on the relatie motion o the source or receier with respect to the medium (e.g. air): λ λ λ λ <λ > Doppler Formula: +e or approaching λ >λ < +e or moing away rom ecture 32 13
Doppler Eect - Deriation Doppler eect: requency o receied sound depends on the relatie motion o the source or receier with respect to the medium (e.g. air): E.g. moing towards the source o the sound wae, my ears will catch more pressure ariations per second than i I stay still or moe away. Thus, the requency I perceie depends on my elocity with respect to the air. imilarly, the motion o the sound source with respect to the air aects the waelength λ o the air waes. For the simple case where all motions are along the x-direction: Assume a sound wae in e x-direction; the speed o sound is = 343 m/s ITENER who has elocity in +e x-direction: λ relatie speed ( ) waelength x OURCE with elocity in +e x-direction: the source traels a distance T per period, so that the eectie waelength is increased by that amount: λ T Combining: Doppler Formula: x +e or approaching +e or moing away ecture 32 rom 14
