Sound Waves Frequency, Harmonics,
Tone Quality (spectral content),Pitch
The “Sonic” SpectrumInfrasound:

20 Hz – 20,000 Hz (20kHz)Ultrasound:
> 20 kHz (~1013 Hz maximum)
Sound- a Pressure WavePhET Simulation “Wave
Interference” (Sound, Particles)
Components of Sound1) Longitudinal (along direction of
propagation) vibrations, e.g. speaker cone.
2) Material medium capable of transmission of these vibrations,
e.g. air.3) Detector of the sound wave
e.g.ear.
Longitudinal wave representation
Longitudinal wave propagation
Pressure wave amplitudeabout 10-5 atmosphere
Displacement wave amplitudeabout 10-7 m
We define 1 N/m2 to be 1 Pascal (Pa)
In air at atmospheric pressure and at 20 degrees Celsius, the speed of sound, v,
is 344 m/s
v is temperature dependent, V = 331 m/s +0.6 T,
where T is the temperature in degrees Celsius above freezing, i.e. above 0
degrees Celsius
What happens when an object exceeds the speed of sound?

• Displacement is longitudinal (despite the graph going “up”)
• Pressure nodes <=> displacement antinodes (and vice versa)
“Open” TubeFrequencies and Wavelengths
f = v / λN = 1 λ = 2Lo f = v/2Lo = fo
N = 2 λ = Lo f = v/Lo = 2fo
N = 3 λ = 2Lo/3 f = 3v/2Lo = 3fo N = 4 λ = 2Lo/4 f = 4v/2Lo = 4fo N = 5 λ = 2Lo/5 f = 5v/2Lo = 5fo N = 6 λ = 2Lo/6 f = 6v/2Lo = 6fo
Pressure waves “fit” in the open tube
n (/2) = LSince f = v,
fn= n (v/2L) Same modes as a string!
Note that in the case of the string, the “v” is the speed of the wave moving down the string. Here v is the speed of the wave motion through the medium, i.e. the speed of SOUND.
CT 12.1. 1
How will the normal mode frequencies of an open tube compare with those of a string (with the same fundamental frequency)?
A) All different frequencies (except fundamental)
B) All the same frequencies
C) Some of the overtones will be the same and some different

The air in an open pipe is in the n=2 mode (shown above). A small speck of dust is located 1/2 of the way down the pipe. What does the dust do ?A) Wiggles up and down (towards /away from wall of tube)B) Wiggles back and forth (left/right, along the tube…)C) Sit still at center of the pipeD) Something else

What is “v” in the formula f = v for a pipe whose both ends are open to the air?
A) The speed of sound in air, 344 m/sB) Speed of vibrations of the pipe wallC) Related to speed of sound, but depends of pipe diameter
