Acoustic Impedance - Specific Impedance of Acoustic Components

Specific Impedance of Acoustic Components

The specific acoustic impedance z of an acoustic component (in N·s/m3) is the ratio of sound pressure p to particle velocity v at its connection point:


z = \frac{p}{v} = \frac{I}{v^2} = \frac{p^2}{I} \,

where

p is the sound pressure (N/m² or Pa),
v is the particle velocity (m/s), and
I is the sound intensity (W/m²)

Famous quotes containing the words specific and/or components:

    The more specific idea of evolution now reached is—a change from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter.
    Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)

    Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.
    Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
