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:
“Blame but thyself that hast misdone,
And well deserved to have blame;
Change thou thy way so evil begun,
And then my lute shall sound that same:
But if till then my fingers play
By thy desert their wonted way,
Blame not my lute.”
—Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?1542)
“In making the great experiment of governing people by consent rather than by coercion, it is not sufficient that the party in power should have a majority. It is just as necessary that the party in power should never outrage the minority.”
—Walter Lippmann (18891974)
“Weve got to figure these things a little bit different than most people. Yknow, theres something about going out in a plane that beats any other way.... A guy that washes out at the controls of his own ship, well, he goes down doing the thing that he loved the best. It seems to me that thats a very special way to die.”
—Dalton Trumbo (19051976)
“What is Americanism? Every one has a different answer. Some people say it is never to submit to the dictation of a King. Others say Americanism is the pride of liberty and the defence of an insult to the flag with their gore. When some half-developed person tramples on that flag, we should be ready to pour out the blood of the nation, they say. But do we not sit in silence when that flag waves over living conditions which should be an insult to all patriotism?”
—Anna Howard Shaw (18471919)
