2. When a tine swings to the right, the molecules in an element of air in front of its movement are forced closer together than normal: compression  Movement of air molecules in a sound wave Producing a Sound Wave When the tine swings to the left the molecules in an element of air to the right of the tine spread apart, and the density and air pressure in this region are then lower than normal: rarefaction compression rarefaction

3. The motion of the elements of the medium in a longitudinal sound wave is back and forth along the direction in which the wave travels.  Longitudinal wave vs. transverse wave Characteristics of Sound Waves In a transverse wave, the vibrations of the elements of the medium are at right angle to the direction of travel of the waves.  Categories of sound waves Audible waves : Frequencies in the range of sensitivity of the human ears – 20 to 20,000 Hz Infrasonic waves : Frequencies below the audible range Ultrasonic waves : Frequencies above the audible range

4. Ultrasonic sound waves have frequencies greater than 20 kHz and, as the speed of sound is constant for given temperature and medium, they have shorter wavelength. Shorter wavelengths allow them to image smaller objects and ultrasonic waves are, therefore, used as a diagnostic tool and in certain treatments.  Application of ultrasound Characteristics of Sound Waves Imaging organs of a body - Internal organs can be examined via the images produced by the reflection and absorption of ultrasonic waves. Use of ultrasonic waves is safer than x-rays but images show less details. - Certain organs such as the liver and the spleen are invisible to x-rays but visible to ultrasonic waves.

5. Mechanism to produce ultrasonic waves (piezoelectric effect) :  Application of ultrasound (cont’d) Characteristics of Sound Waves An alternating voltage of high frequency induces vibration on a crystal of quartz and strontium titanate etc. of the same frequency. This vibration of the crystal creates a beam of ultrasonic waves. This process can be reversed, so the transmitter can also work as the receiver. Principle of ultrasonic imaging: A sound wave is partially reflected whenever it is incident on a boundary between two materials having different densities. The percentage of the incident wave intensity reflected (PR) when a sound wave is traveling in a material of density  i and strikes a material of density  t is given by:

Cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator (CUSA) This device is used to surgically remove brain tumors. The probe of the CUSA emits ultrasonic waves (~23 kHz) at its tips. When the tip touches a tumor, the part of the tumor near the probe is shattered and the residue can be sucked up through the hollow probe.

8. The average intensity of a wave on a given surface is defined as the rate at which energy flows through the surface,  E/  t, divided by the surface area A:  Average intensity of a wave Energy and Intensity of Sound waves SI unit : watt per meter squared (W/m 2 ) A rate of energy transfer is power : P : the sound power passing through the surface Thresholds The faintest sounds the human ear can detect at a frequency of 1 kHz have an intensity of about 1x10 -12 W/m 2 – Threshold of hearing The loudest sounds the human ear can tolerate have an intensity of about 1 W/m 2 – Threshold of pain

9. The loudest tolerable sounds have intensities about 1.0x10 12 times greater than the faintest detectable sounds.  Intensity level in decibel Energy and Intensity of Sound waves The sensation of loudness is approximately logarithmic in the human ear.
