REVERBERATION
18. SOUND
• It is a disturbance that carries energy and
travels through a medium.
• It is produced by vibrations in the medium
through which it travels.
• The medium can be solid, liquid or gas.
19. VIBRATIONS
• As you speak, these are produced by the vocal
cords inside the throat.
• You can hear the vibrations when sound
waves reach your ear.
• When an object vibrates, it creates sound
energy.
20. SOUND ENERGY
• It travels in the form of sound waves.
• These waves are examples of longitudinal
waves where the vibrations are parallel to the
direction of the wave.
• They are also known as mechanical waves
since sound waves need a medium in order to
propagate.
21. MEDIUM
• These media can either be solids, liquids or
gases.
• Sound waves travel fastest in solids and
slowest in gases.
22. DENSITY
• It refers to the ratio of mass and volume of a
substance.
• Denser objects have more mass per volume,
and they have more compact atoms and
molecules.
• Sound travels in denser materials provided
they have the same elastic properties.
23. ELASTICITY
• It is the tendency of a material to return to
its original shape after being deformed when
force is applied on it.
• Sound can travel faster through media with
higher elasticity than through low elasticity.
• Solids are more elastic than liquids and
gases. Thus, sound travels fastest in solids
and slowest in gases.
24. SPEED OF SOUND
• It refers to how fast the disturbance travels
in the medium.
• It is the distance that the disturbance travels
per unit of time.
• Its speed through the medium is affected by
some factors. One of the factors is
temperature.
25. SPEED OF SOUND
• When sound travels through dry air, its speed
increases by 0.6 m/s per 1˚C increase in
temperature.
• The speed of sound at a certain temperature
in the air can be computed using the formula:
26. SPEED OF SOUND
• v is the speed of sound in air
• 331 m/s is the speed of sound at 0˚C
• 0.6 m/s/˚C is the increase in speed of sound
per ˚C increase in temperature
• T is the temperature of air
29. SOUND ENERGY
• It travels from one particle to another.
• With more collisions per unit time, sound
energy is transferred more efficiently, and
travel quickly.
• As the temperature increases, the particles
vibrate faster resulting to more collisions per
unit time.
30. SOUND WAVES
• The refraction of sound waves involves a
change in the direction of waves as they pass
from one medium to another.
• When a sound wave propagates in the air
with temperature which changes with
altitude, refraction happens.
• Sound waves travel slower in cooler air than
in warmer air.
31. SOUND WAVES
• The speed of sound is greater in hot air than
it is in cold air.
• Sound travels from hot air to cold air or from
cold air to hot air it will refract.
• Molecules of air are moving faster and the
vibrations of the sound wave can therefore be
transmitted faster.
32. SOUND WAVES
• Speed of sound is directly affected by the
temperature of the medium. The hotter the
medium, the faster the sound travels.
35. PROPERTIES OF SOUND
• A sound wave will undergo certain behavior
when it encounters the end of the medium or
an obstacle. Possible behavior includes
reflection and refraction.
36. REFLECTION
• The turning back of the wave as it hits a
barrier. The echo is an example of a reflected
sound
• Reverberation, on the other hand, refers to
multiple reflections or echoes in a certain
place.
37. REFLECTION
• This best fits the bathroom which enhances
the voice (Reverberation).
• In theaters and movie houses, there are also
reverberations and echoes. But these are not
pleasing to the ears during a play or a movie.
To lessen these, designers use curtains and
cloth covers for the chairs and carpets.
38. REFLECTION
• Another application of sound reflection is
echo sounding.
• This is used by scientists to map the seafloor
and to determine the depth of the ocean or
sea.
• This is just the same as how bats use sound
to detect distances.
39. REFRACTION
• The refraction of sound waves involves a
change in the direction of waves as they pass
from one medium to another.
• Sound waves travel slower in cooler air than
in warmer air.
• When a sound wave propagates in the air
with temperature which changes with
altitude, refraction happens.
