Sound Introduction Longitudinal waves with regions of high and low pressure that travel through a medium Audible, Infrasonic, Ultrasonic Speed of sound varies with temperature and density of the medium 343 m/s at 23°C in air 6/4/2016APHY1011
Sound Sound Waves Regions of condensation and rarefaction Example The particles experience simple harmonic motion as the wave passes them Remember that the particles are already moving when the wave reaches them. 6/4/2016APHY1012
Sound Doppler Effect Apparent change in the frequency of the wave due to motion of the source or observer Sound (trains, sirens) and light 6/4/2016APHY1013
Sound Supersonic Speed and Shock Waves Shockwave and Mach cone 6/4/2016APHY1014
Wave Superposition and Interference Superposition Adding the displacements of two or more waves that are interacting. Constructive and destructive 6/4/2016APHY1015
