Sound Power - Sound Power With Plane Sound Waves

Sound Power With Plane Sound Waves

Between sound power and other important acoustic values there is the following relationship:

P_\mathrm{ac} = \xi^2 \cdot \omega^2 \cdot Z \cdot A = v^2 \cdot Z \cdot A = \frac{a^2 \cdot Z \cdot A}{\omega^2} = \frac{p^2 \cdot A}{Z} = E \cdot c \cdot A = I \cdot A\,

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:

    “Dignity takes alarm at the unexpected sound of laughter.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Do thou, then breathe those thoughts into my mind
    By which such virtue may in me be bred
    That in thy holy footsteps I may tread:
    The fetters of my tongue do thou unbind,
    That I may have the power to sing of thee
    And sound thy praises everlastingly”
    —Michelangelo Buonarroti (1474–1564)

    “with the plane nowhere and her body taking by the throat
    The undying cry of the void falling living beginning to be something
    That no one has ever been and lived through screaming without enough air”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “During our twenties...we act toward the new adulthood the way sociologists tell us new waves of immigrants acted on becoming Americans: we adopt the host culture’s values in an exaggerated and rigid fashion until we can rethink them and make them our own. Our idea of what adults are and what we’re supposed to be is composed of outdated childhood concepts brought forward.”
    —Roger Gould (20th century)
