SCIENCE & TREATMENT OF SOUND 4. Velocity - speed of sound ELEMENTS: 5. Wavelength - distance 1. Source 2. Transmission path 6. Pure tone - one energy one frequency 3. Receiver 7. Musical Tone - many pre tones POROUS ABSORBENT Best for lower band frequency 8. Intensity - rate of flow at sound energy ECHO The repetition of a sound produced by the reflection of sound waves from QUALITY OF SOUND an obstructing surface, loud enough and received late enough to be perceived as distinct from the source 1. Reverberation - the prolonging of sound RESONANCE The intensification and prolongation of sound produced by sympathetic 2. Echo - repetition of sound, with magnitude and delay vibration 3. Flutter - rapid succession of echoes caused by the reflection of PHON sound waves back and forth between two parallel surfaces Unit of loudness level 4. Creep/ Crawl - reflection of sound from a curved surface SOUND ABSORPTION Process of dissipating sound energy by converting it into heat 5. Sound Foci
SOUND 6. Diffusion - sound is everywhere
Fluctuation in pressure, particle displacement in elastic medium 7. Refraction - when traveling forward in a straight path, it changes SABIN direction as it passes through different density and causes unit of absorption equivalent to 1 sq ft of perfectly absorptive material sound wave to bend
8. Diffraction - acoustic phenomenon which causes sound wave to bend
Frequency - expressed in hertz Decibel - unit of sound 9. Focusing - sound waves reflected from a concave surface Noise - unwanted sound Decay time - reverberation tie Hertz - the Si unit of frequency
CHARACTER OF SOUND
1. Cycle - full circuit of particle
