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:
“He seems determined to make a trumpet sound like a tin whistle.”
—Aneurin Bevan (18971960)
“All in all, punishment hardens and renders people more insensible; it concentrates; it increases the feeling of estrangement; it strengthens the power of resistance.”

—Anna Howard Shaw (18471919)
“Yet
I trust the sanity of my vessel; and
if it sinks, it may well be in answer
