2. Sound energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_energy

   In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual.

3. Sound power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_power

   Sound power or acoustic power is the rate at which sound energy is emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit time. [1] It is defined [2] as "through a surface, the product of the sound pressure, and the component of the particle velocity, at a point on the surface in the direction normal to the surface, integrated over that surface."

4. Sound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

   Sound waves may be viewed using parabolic mirrors and objects that produce sound. [9] The energy carried by an oscillating sound wave converts back and forth between the potential energy of the extra compression (in case of longitudinal waves) or lateral displacement strain (in case of transverse waves) of the matter, and the kinetic energy of ...

5. Sound intensity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_intensity

   Sound intensity, also known as acoustic intensity, is defined as the power carried by sound waves per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area, also called the sound power density and the sound energy flux density. [2] The SI unit of intensity, which includes sound intensity, is the watt per square meter (W/m 2).

6. Acoustical engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustical_engineering

   Absorption is the loss of energy that occurs when a sound wave reflects off of a surface, and refers to both the sound energy transmitted through and dissipated by the surface material. [26] Reverberation is the persistence of sound caused by repeated boundary reflections after the source of the sound stops.

7. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

   The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. More simply, the speed of sound is how fast vibrations travel. At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound in air, is about 343 m/s (1,125 ft/s; 1,235 km/h; 767 mph; 667 kn), or 1 km in 2.91 s or one mile in 4.69 s.

8. Sound pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_pressure

   Sound pressure or acoustic pressure is the local pressure deviation from the ambient (average or equilibrium) atmospheric pressure, caused by a sound wave. In air, sound pressure can be measured using a microphone, and in water with a hydrophone. The SI unit of sound pressure is the pascal (Pa). [1]

9. Energy (signal processing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_(signal_processing)

   Similarly, the spectral energy density of signal x(t) is = | | where X(f) is the Fourier transform of x(t).. For example, if x(t) represents the magnitude of the electric field component (in volts per meter) of an optical signal propagating through free space, then the dimensions of X(f) would become volt·seconds per meter and () would represent the signal's spectral energy density (in volts ...
