1. What is SoundSound is a longitudinal wave of air pressure variations, caused by a rapidly vibrating source (i.e. a tuning fork or your vocal cords)

2. Speed of sound
The speed of sound at sea level and 0°C is 332 m/s
1. What is the speed of sound when the temperature is 25°C & 25°C?
2. The middle C note on a piano vibrates at 262 Hz. How many vibrations does it make when the sound travels across a room 10m wide at a temperature of 10°C?
As the temperature the air molecules are moving faster and sound waves can be transmitted faster. For each degree Celcius the velocity of sound goes up by 0.59m/s.
Factors affecting the speed of sound:

3. Sound Intensity
Measure of the overall energy of the sound per unit area.
measured in W/m2
Human Range is from about 1012W/m2 to 1 W/m2
A huge range (0.000000000001 to 1W/m2 )
Normally measured in dB (decibels).

4. Pitch and Sound Quality
• High pitch relates to short wavelengths and high frequency
• Sound Quality is a measure of the cleanliness of the signal
• What is white noise?Just like white light, (white light is composed of all frequencies (wavelengths) of visible light), white noise is composed of all frequencies of audible sound.
