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:
“Im no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury systemthat is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.”

“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)
