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 |

Famous quotes containing the word terms:
“As for the terms good and bad, they indicate no positive quality in things regarded in themselves, but are merely modes of thinking, or notions which we form from the comparison of things with one another. Thus one and the same thing can be at the same time good, bad, and indifferent. For instance music is good for him that is melancholy, bad for him who mourns; for him who is deaf, it is neither good nor bad.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
