How can I explain the concept of
SOUND, WAVES AND DOPPLER
EFFECT?
201241723 mz mandhlazi
WAVES are everywhere. We encounter them
on a daily basis. Examples of waves are:
WAVE - a disturbance traveling through
a medium or in a vacuum from one
location to another.
is the maximum distance
the particles in a wave
vibrate from their rest positions.
the number of waves
produced in a given time
-
Frequency= waves/time

SOUND

It is composed of waves of
compression and rarefaction in
which the human ear is sensitive
Sound may be described by four perceptual characteristics:



Pitch  refers to the highness or lowness of a sound. It depends upon the
frequency of the sounding object. Higher frequency sounds produce high
pitch while lower frequency sounds produce low pitch.



Loudness  is a physiological sensation that varies from one person to
another. It depends on the sense of hearing, the distance from the source
and the material through which the sound travels.
Pitch
- description of how high or low
the sound seems to a person

. Loudnesshow loud or soft a sound is
perceived to be.
201241723 mz mandhlazi
Sound Waves  is a longitudinal wave
created by vibrating solids, liquids or gases
and capable of producing a sensation in our
auditory system. It can travel through a
medium from one location to another. It
travels at a speed of 331m/s in air at sea
level when the temperature is 0 degree.
This music is so
loud please turn
it UP
Loudness of Sound in Decibels
Just like all longitudinal
(compression)waves, sound
Waves possess a velocity,
frequency, wavelength,
phase, period, and amplitude.

Sound waves also reflect,
refract, diffract, and interfere.

2. LOUDNESS or intensity
-description of how high or low
the sound seems to a person
-determined mainly by the
amplitude of the sound
wave
a. Decibel (dB)- unit used to
measure sound intensity or
loudness.
Speed of Sound
Depends on:

1. Type of medium
-travels better through liquids and solids
and gas cant travel through a vacuum.
2. Temperature of medium
-travels faster at higher temperature.
3. Density
-sound moves well through dense
materials.
4. Elasticity
-sound waves move fast through
elastic materials
Human Hearing
sound wave
vibrates ear drum

amplified by
bones
converted to
nerve impulses in
cochlea
Ultrasound
sound waves with frequencies above the normal
human range of hearing.
Sounds in the range from 20-100kHz
-

Infrasound
- sounds with frequencies below the
normal human range of hearing.
Sounds in the 20-200 Hz range
DOPPLER EFFECT


The apparent change in the frequency of a source of wave
due to the motion of the source and/or the observer



Developed by Christian Doppler in 1842



The difference of the true frequency and the apparent
frequency is called the Doppler Shift
Doppler Effect
The Doppler effect is the apparent change in the
frequency of sound due to the motion of source of sound
and/or the observer.
Key variables
The following symbols will be used in the definitions:
 fis the true frequency








f
v
vs

is the apparent frequency
is the velocity of the sound (air)
is the velocity of the source

vo is the velocity of the observer
了 is the true wavelength
了 is the apparent wavelength
Case 1:observer is in motion and the
source is at rest


f  = [ ( v 賊 vo ) / v ] f



( + ) means the observer is moving towards the source



( - ) means the observer is moving away from the source
Case 2:observer is at rest and the source
is in motion


f  = [ v / ( v 賊 vs ) ] f



( + ) means the source is moving away from the observer



( - ) means the source is moving towards the observer
Case 3:both the observer and the source
are in motion


f  = [ ( v 賊 v o ) / ( v 賊 vs ) ] f



NOTE: please refer to case 1 and case 2 and
analyze the situation of the observer and the
source respectively.
Conceptual understanding


When a wave source moves toward a receiver, does the
receiver encounter an increase in wave frequency, wave
speed ,or both?



Does the Doppler Effect occur for only some types of
waves or all types of waves?


Doppler Effect

 change

in wave frequency caused
by a moving wave source

moving toward you pitch sounds higher
moving away from you pitch sounds lower


named after Austrian physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach



Used to describe speed of objects that are travelling close
to, or above the speed of sound.



The ratio of the speed of the object and the speed of
sound in the medium.



M = speed of object / speed of sound
Shock waves


this is heard as a sonic boom when an airplane passes
over; this is the result of the compilation of sound waves
generated by a source that moves at equal or greater
velocity than the sound it creates
Sample problems:
Doppler effect
1.

An ambulance traveling at 20. m/s sounds its siren at a frequency of 256Hz.
What apparent frequency will you hear if the ambulance is:
( assume air temperature to be at 25属C )
a. approaching you?
b. moving away from you?

2. A car traveling at 30. m/s sounds its horn as it overtakes and pass another car
traveling at 20. m/s in the same direction. If the frequency of the horn is 500.
Hz, what is the frequency heard by the driver in the slower car:
a.) before
b.) after the car has passed?
Assume sound speed to be at 350. m/s.
