2 kinds of waves:
Transverse – Motion is at right angles to
direction of travel Longitudinal -- Motion is in direction (and anti-
direction) of wave travel (Sound is this kind of wave)

Waves normally have a “medium” the substance which is disturbed
The medium for sound is normally air phet kinetic theory

The speed of sound – how fast the pattern travels
Roughly 344 m/s through air.
![Page 10: •A disturbance which propagates through a medium. •A …](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012600/619767964ec95e71432fd69a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sound causes a rapid change in air pressure at a point in space – what is
pressure?
![Page 11: •A disturbance which propagates through a medium. •A …](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012600/619767964ec95e71432fd69a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pressure = force / area
• Unit is Newtons/meter2 = Pascal
• 1 N/m2 = Pa
• Can also be measured in atmospheres (1 atm = 101.3 kPa)
![Page 12: •A disturbance which propagates through a medium. •A …](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012600/619767964ec95e71432fd69a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Waves and Vibrations
![Page 13: •A disturbance which propagates through a medium. •A …](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012600/619767964ec95e71432fd69a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Frequency – How often something happens
We have this class 3 times per week The sun rises 365 times per year The wave emitted by that oboe causes the pressure
at this location of space to reach a crest 500 times per second
500 times per second = 500 hertz = 500 Hz

Sinusoidal motion If a system meets the requirements for SHM, the resulting motion will follow a curve called a sinusoid (or a sine curve).
![Page 20: •A disturbance which propagates through a medium. •A …](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012600/619767964ec95e71432fd69a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Important features in SHM
Note that the frequency and period are inversely related where: f = 1/T
![Page 21: •A disturbance which propagates through a medium. •A …](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012600/619767964ec95e71432fd69a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Frequency and Period
Period = time for one cycle
•measured in seconds (or some other time unit)
Alternatively:
Frequency = number of cycles completed in 1 second
•so measured in cycles per second or hertz.
•1 hertz = 1 Hz = 1 cycle/second
![Page 22: •A disturbance which propagates through a medium. •A …](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012600/619767964ec95e71432fd69a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The mass-spring system
Period depends on mass and spring strength, but not on amplitude.
Mass moves fastest as it passes through equilibrium position
![Page 23: •A disturbance which propagates through a medium. •A …](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012600/619767964ec95e71432fd69a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Damped harmonic motion
The amplitude, but NOT the frequency decreases with time.
![Page 24: •A disturbance which propagates through a medium. •A …](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012600/619767964ec95e71432fd69a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Driven Oscillations and Natural Frequencies
• All mechanical systems have a natural or resonant frequency. – a mass on the end of a spring – a rattling car window – a pendulum
• An external force with the same f as the natural f of the object will “drive” the object causing its amplitude to increase dramatically.

A fundamental equation for ALL
WAVES v= fλ
v = wave speed, [v] = m/s f = frequency, [f] = 1/s = Hz (Hertz) λ = wavelength, [λ] = m
![Page 26: •A disturbance which propagates through a medium. •A …](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012600/619767964ec95e71432fd69a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Very Important!
The speed of a wave is ENTIRELY determined by the CHARACTERISTICS of the medium in which it is moving! If the medium is not changed then the wave speed cannot change!

Whatever the oscillating materials, the bigger it is, the lower the frequency:
v = f λ

For something like a violin, you get to choose the wave speed. For a
wind instrument, you have no choice: you must use the speed of
sound in air.

The auditory system Outer ear: channel sound waves to the ear drum. Middle ear: transfers sound wave from ear drum to inner ear. The pressure of the sound wave is amplified substantially. Inner ear: signal processing of the sound wave Frequency range: from about 20 Hz to 20 kHz
![Page 34: •A disturbance which propagates through a medium. •A …](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012600/619767964ec95e71432fd69a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The place theory of hearing
The basic pitch determination mechanism is based on the location along the basilar membrane where the hair cells are stimulated. Note the Basilar membrane is about 3.5 cm in length.
Base (near the oval window)
![Page 35: •A disturbance which propagates through a medium. •A …](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012600/619767964ec95e71432fd69a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Basilar membrane is narrow and stiff near the base (oval window end) and wide and floppy at the other end. High frequencies cause the narrow end to vibrate and low frequencies the wide end. When the Basilar membrane vibrates it stimulates the hair cells in that region.

Classes of Musical Instruments
String – string is frictionally excited and vibrates Wind -- vibrating column of air Percussion -- usually struck, a 2D or 3D object
vibrates Some instruments are difficult to classify, e.g.
piano

If the string has no stiffness (only tension), waves are non-dispersive (i.e. different wavelengths travel at
the same speeds)

The Flute Family
The flutes are (from left to right and, not to be confused with the piano): FLUTE (C FLUTE), PICCOLO, BASS FLUTE, ALTO FLUTE, CONTR'ALTO FLUTE, CONTRABASS FLUTE, 8 feet in length, and the SUB CONTRABASS FLUTE IN G, a full 12 feet in length.

The French horn (natural horn) • In the 18th century, prior to the development of the valve, players learned
to change the pitch of the instrument by inserting a hand into the bell, hand stopping.
• To play the instrument in a different key, sections of tubing of different lengths called crooks could be swapped into and out of the instrument.

For percussion instruments:
Loudness depends on size of surface moving and amplitude
Sound is transient Sound is usually unpitched (may give overall
sensation of high (e.g. triangle) or low (e.g. gong)
(though some instruments (marimba, tympani, etc.) do give a sensation of pitch)

Helium and Voice Timbre
• Listen to normal speech. • Speech with helium-filled lungs. • Normal singing. • Singing with helium – what happens
to the pitch?

Resonance curve of vocal tract filled with helium
The vertical lines indicate the frequencies of the vocal folds. Q) Why don’t the vocal fold frequencies change in helium? The speed of sound is greater in helium, so the formants occur at higher frequencies: the second formant has been shifted off scale to the right in this diagram. The shift of the formant frequencies causes strong changes in the timbre of the voice.
