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:

    “It is not the sound made by victors, or the sound made by losers; it is the sound of revelers that I hear.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 32:18.

    “The power of the past does not depend on our knowledge of it.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “It was the most ungrateful and unjust act ever perpetrated by a republic upon a class of citizens who had worked and sacrificed and suffered as did the women of this nation in the struggle of the Civil War only to be rewarded at its close by such unspeakable degradation as to be reduced to the plane of subjects to enfranchised slaves.”
    —Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

    “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)
