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 vib…

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 th…

Textbook Question

Chapter 18, Problem 18.61P

Suppose a flutist plays a 523-Hz C note with first harmonic displacement amplitude A₁ = 100 nm. From Figure 17.21b read, by proportion, the displacement amplitudes of harmonics 2 through 7. Take these as the values, A₂ through A₇ in the Fourier analysis of the sound and assume B 1 = B 2 = ⋯ = B 7 = 0 . Construct a graph of the waveform of the sound. Your waveform will not look exactly like the flute waveform in Figure 17.20b because you simplify by ignoring cosine terms; nevertheless, it produces the same sensation to human hearing.
