Equations in Terms of Other Measurements
The velocity v can be related to the particle displacement (xi) and acceleration for single frequency plane wave of frequency f using
It is further related to the instantaneous acoustic intensity vector I (not the time-averaged acoustic intensity) according to
Symbol | Units | Meaning |
---|---|---|
v | m/s | particle velocity |

p | Pa, pascals | sound pressure |
Z | N·s/m³ | acoustic impedance |
E | W·s/m³ | sound energy density |
Pac | W, watts | sound power or acoustic power |
A | m² | area |
a | m/s² | particle acceleration |
kg/m³ | air density |

Famous quotes containing the word terms:
“What had really caused the womens movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century womens life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldnt live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was the problem that had no name. Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.”
—Betty Friedan (20th century)
