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:

    “Alex: I don’t mean to sound like a snob.
    Cory: You couldn’t sound like anything else.”
    —Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    “Such is the power of love in gentle mind,
    That it can alter all the course of kind.”
    —Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    “At the moment when a man openly makes known his difference of opinion from a well-known party leader, the whole world thinks that he must be angry with the latter. Sometimes, however, he is just on the point of ceasing to be angry with him. He ventures to put himself on the same plane as his opponent, and is free from the tortures of suppressed envy.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Your eyes have pardoned our faults,
    your hands have touched us
    you have leaned forward a little
    and the waves can never thrust us back
    from the splendour of your ragged coast.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
