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:
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:
“I was asking for something specific and perfect for my city,
Whereupon lo! upsprang the aboriginal name.
Now I see what there is in a name, a word, liquid, sane, unruly,
musical, self-sufficient,
I see that the word of my city is that word from of old,
Because I see that word nested in nests of water-bays, superb,
Rich, hemm’d thick all around with sailships and steamships, an
island sixteen miles long, solid-founded,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“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)
