Sound Power With Plane Sound Waves
Between sound power and other important acoustic values there is the following relationship:
where:
Symbol | Units | Meaning |
---|---|---|
p | Pa | sound pressure |
f | Hz | frequency |
ξ | m | particle displacement |
c | m/s | speed of sound |
v | m/s | particle velocity |
ω = 2πf | rad/s | angular frequency |
ρ | kg/m3 | density of air |
Z = c · ρ | N·s/m³ | acoustic impedance |
a | m/s² | particle acceleration |
I | W/m² | sound intensity |
E | W·s/m³ | sound energy density |
Pac | W | sound power or acoustic power |
A | m² | area |

Famous quotes containing the words sound, power, plane and/or waves:
“The old coat that I wear is Concord; it is my morning robe and study gown, my working dress and suit of ceremony, and my nightgown after all. Cleave to the simplest ever. Home,home,home. Cars sound like cares to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give.”
—Thomas Jefferson (17431826)
“Have you ever been up in your plane at night, alone, somewhere, 20,000 feet above the ocean?... Did you ever hear music up there?... Its the music a mans spirit sings to his heart, when the earths far away and there isnt any more fear. Its the high, fine, beautiful sound of an earth-bound creature who grew wings and flew up high and looked straight into the face of the future. And caught, just for an instant, the unbelievable vision of a free man in a free world.”
—Dalton Trumbo (19051976)
“What is Americanism? Every one has a different answer. Some people say it is never to submit to the dictation of a King. Others say Americanism is the pride of liberty and the defence of an insult to the flag with their gore. When some half-developed person tramples on that flag, we should be ready to pour out the blood of the nation, they say. But do we not sit in silence when that flag waves over living conditions which should be an insult to all patriotism?”
—Anna Howard Shaw (18471919)
