if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
YES
- sound is still sound even if it’s too loud, soft, or someone isn’t around to hear it
acoustics vs. psychoacoustics?
kylie
what is acoustics?
the study of sound, a branch of physics
what is sound?
a physical phenomenon which describes a movement (or vibration) of an elastic medium without permanent displacement of the particles
3 prerequisites for sound
- a source of energy (force)
- a vibrating object which generates an audible pressure wave
- a medium of transmission (e.g., air)
explain generation
- give example
- explain condensation and rarefaction in the example
sound waves are generated by any vibrating source
- ex/ a violin vibrates and causes the crowding together (condensation) and spreading apart (rarefaction) of air molecules
why can’t sound waves travel through a vacuum?
because sound waves travel by disturbing the particles of a material medium
what does propogation mean?
- how does this apply to sound?
movement through
- for sound to be generated and heard, it must have a medium to pass through
what receives a sound?
the ear
three basic parts of the ear and their roles in sound reception
- outer ear: collects and channels sound to middle ear
- middle ear: transforms energy of sound wave into internal vibrations of the bone structure of the middle ear, and ultimately transform these vibrations into a compression wave in the inner ear
- inner ear: transform the energy of a compression wave into nerve impulses that can be transmitted to the brain
5 steps of the speech chain
- generation of speech
- feedback link to the speaker
- propagation of sound waves
- reception by the listener
- transmission of info to the brain

no idea about this
sound is created when:
1.
2.
- air molecules are set into vibration

transverse = waves move? longitudinal = waves move?
- up and down
- left and right
sound waves are longitudinal, but are graphically represented by?
transverse waves
pure tones are represented by ____? what does it mean for it to be a pure tone?
sine waves
- only 1 frequency present
- if an oscillation begins at any points and ends on the identical point on the next wave = sine wave
5 dimensions of sine waves with formulas
- amplitude (displacement or intensity)
- frequency (cycles per second - 1/T)
- Period (time for one cycle - 1/f)
- phase (point in time on waveform)
- wavelength (distance traveled in one cycle: speed of sound/frequency = s/f)
four parameters describing simple harmonic motion as a function of time
- frequency
- amplitude
- period
- phase

multiply it by 1000
3 properties of all media that affect the behavior of sound propagation
- relationship between density and pressure (impacted by temp, determines speed of sound)
- motion of medium (if medium is moving, sound is further transported)
- viscosity of medium (determines rate at which sound is dampened)
is water or air a more efficient transmitter of sound? Why?
water
