Refer to Multiple-Concept Example 4 for a review of the concepts that play roles in this problem. Civil engineers use a transit theodolite when surveying. One version of this device determines distance by measuring the time required for an ultrasonic pulse to reach a target, reflect from it, and return. When calibrated properly, the device uses the speed of sound appropriate for the ambient air temperature to determine the distance between the theodolite and the target. Suppose a theodolite is calibrated so that it gives the correct value for a distance when used at a temperature of 291 K. When used at a temperature of 306 K, however, the device gives an incorrect value for the same distance. What percentage error would there be in the incorrect value measured by the theodolite? If the incorrect value is too big, then give the error percentage as a positive number. If the incorrect value is too small, then give the error percentage as a negative number. Assume that air behaves as an ideal gas, so that Equation 16.5 applies. Units

Properties of sound

A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).

Quality Of Sound

A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vibrate about a certain average position and create compressions and rarefactions. This is called pitch which is defined as the frequency of sound. The frequency is defined as the number of oscillations in pressure per second.

Categories of Sound Wave

People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules that travel further. Both of them describe it as vibration generated by an object, the difference is one talks about how it is received and other deals with how it travels and propagates across various mediums.
