Last week’s puzzler:Wind and Doppler Effect
Does the wind affect the pitch of a factory whistle you hear on a windy day?
1. Yes2. No
Another perspective, may cause “aha!”:
What if both the whistle and the person were moving in the same direction? Is that any different than a wind blowing?
The compression / rarefaction waves are
what you hear…
Remember it’s the frequency that
determines the pitch

windy day?

Author’s very good analogy, why wind does not affect pitch of sound
If the first guy is only putting down items once per second…
How could a faster belt increase the number of items per second the second guy can pick up?
![Page 8: 06 Feb 5 Sound, Interference, Pitch, Beats After Class](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555d2744d8b42ac4258b58b7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Let’s explore Doppler effect for sound with demos and applets
http://www.falstad.com/mathphysics.html ripple
Nerf Doppler Demo
Very good animationhttp://physics-animations.com/Physics/English/waves.htm
Relative movement between source and receiver
DOES change the frequency and wavelength
Does NOT change the wave speed
Pay attention to things like frequency,
wavelength, and wave speed during applets
![Page 9: 06 Feb 5 Sound, Interference, Pitch, Beats After Class](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555d2744d8b42ac4258b58b7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Is the frequency of a sound wave affected by bouncing off moving surface?
This effect is used by some bats in echolocation!
Can determine whether insect is approachingCan detect rapidly beating wings of insects

Is the frequency of a sound wave affected by bouncing off moving surface?
This effect is used in ultrasonography!
Doppler shift in sound frequency reveals blood velocity

Sound in air: Compression / Rarefaction Waves
Most of the sound you hear comes from traveling waves through the air.
Tricky: Compressions and Rarefactions travel in the same direction
Applet for visualizing traveling sound wave http://positron.ps.uci.edu/~dkirkby/music/html/demos/PlaneWave/Highlighted.html
(a) compression (b) rarefaction(c) wave propegation of a tuning fork as seen from aboveFrom http://www.pjwstk.edu.pl/~kmarasek/3-sound.ppt
What is going on when I strike this tuning fork?
![Page 12: 06 Feb 5 Sound, Interference, Pitch, Beats After Class](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555d2744d8b42ac4258b58b7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A) They are carried by the wave to your ear.
B) They are dislocated only a little by the wave.
When a sound is emitted at the front of the lecture hall, what happens to the air
molecules in the sound wave?
![Page 13: 06 Feb 5 Sound, Interference, Pitch, Beats After Class](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555d2744d8b42ac4258b58b7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A) They are carried by the wave to your ear.
B) They are dislocated only a little by the wave.
When a sound is emitted at the front of the lecture hall, what happens to the air
molecules in the sound wave?
Waves transmit energy not matter!
If air molecules are dislocated only a little, how are we able to hear the sound?
Pressure on our ear drums!
![Page 14: 06 Feb 5 Sound, Interference, Pitch, Beats After Class](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555d2744d8b42ac4258b58b7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Speed of sound in air about 770 miles per hour
Speed does not depend on frequency or amplitude (usually)pressure or density
Speed does depend on temperature, humidity (mass of molecules)…wind!
Dry air, 68 degrees F: Speed about 770 mph or 340 m/s (Remember this!)(Speed of light in vacuum, ~670 million mph or 3 * 108 m/s…1 million
times faster)

Clicker Question—Speed of sound
Above is an amination of the time it takes light to reach the moon from earth (~ 3 seconds). How long would it take the sound from an incredible explosion to reach the moon?
A) SameB) 1,000 times longerC) 1,000,000 times longerD) Sound would never survive the trip

Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum!

So, you can’t have waves in space, right?

Clicker questionIn air, what is the wavelength of a 440 Hz sound wave?
A) 0.75 millimetersB) 0.75 metersC) 7.5 metersD) 75 meters
http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/~jw/notes.html
440 Hz
![Page 19: 06 Feb 5 Sound, Interference, Pitch, Beats After Class](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555d2744d8b42ac4258b58b7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Clicker questionIn air, what is the wavelength of a 440 Hz sound wave?
A) 0.75 millimetersB) 0.75 metersC) 7.5 metersD) 75 meters
First: try order of magnitude
http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/~jw/notes.html
440 Hz
Wavelength =Wave speed
frequency
¾ meter = 340 m/s / 440 Hz
![Page 20: 06 Feb 5 Sound, Interference, Pitch, Beats After Class](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555d2744d8b42ac4258b58b7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
There can be constructive or destructive interference
Constructive Interference“In Phase”
Destructive Interference“180 degrees out of phase”
Remember the wave table demo with Ashley on Tuesday?This interference happens with sound waves as well.
![Page 21: 06 Feb 5 Sound, Interference, Pitch, Beats After Class](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555d2744d8b42ac4258b58b7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Noise “cancellation” headphones use wave interference to reduce noise
Electronics in headphone detect incoming sound, and create new sound wave 180 degrees out of phase
![Page 22: 06 Feb 5 Sound, Interference, Pitch, Beats After Class](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555d2744d8b42ac4258b58b7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sound reflects very well…and interferes with itself
Remember the waves on the rope reflecting off wall?
Waves reflect when the form of matter changes (interfaces)
Much work goes into “good acoustics” fororchestra halls…preventing “dead spots” Let’s try this out! w/ speakers
and sound level meters
![Page 23: 06 Feb 5 Sound, Interference, Pitch, Beats After Class](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555d2744d8b42ac4258b58b7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sound waves of two different frequencies also interfere… “beats”
The “beat frequency” is the difference in the two source frequencies: f2 – f1
Demo w/ big speakers

Clicker Question—Beats
Consider two different beat situations: (A) 440 Hz and 442 Hz sound wave (B) 225 Hz and a 220 Hz sound wave
Which one will be perceived as beating more quickly?
![Page 25: 06 Feb 5 Sound, Interference, Pitch, Beats After Class](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555d2744d8b42ac4258b58b7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Clicker Question—Beats
Consider two different beat situations: (A) 440 Hz and 442 Hz sound wave (B) 225 Hz and a 220 Hz sound wave
(A) will beat twice per second, and (B) will beat 5 times per second. (But (A) will sound as higher pitch)
