P-6+Sound

5. Links [] [] [] [] || 7. The tallest load-bearing columns are part of the Temple of Amun in Egypt, built in 1270 B.C. Find the height of these columns if a standing wave with a frequency of 47.8 Hz is generated in an open pipe that is as tall as the columns. The sixth harmonic is generated. The speed of sound in air is 334 m/s. 5. Links [] [] [] [] 6. A trumpet can have its pitch controlled by playing different notes by pressing different buttons. You can control its loudness by blowing harder or softer. And lastly, it tonal quality means that even if the trumpt and a sax are playing the same note at the same loudness, they will both still sound different. 7. What is the intensity of the sound waves produced by a trumpet at a distance of 3.2 m when the power output of the trumpet is .2 W? Assume that the sound waves are spherical. || 4. 5.Links [] [] []  [] 6.The intensity of sound would be like listening to two singers sing. One of them a bass, and the other an alto. Volume, however, would be like listening to a cricket chirping and then listening to a rock concert. 7. ||

 * Indicators:**
 * || P-6.1 || [|Summarize the production of sound and its speed and transmission through various media.]
 * || P-6.1 || [|Summarize the production of sound and its speed and transmission through various media.]
 * 1) 6. Sound is produced in waves, like dropping a rock into a pool of water. The speed of these waves is dependent on the medium the wave is transmitted through, like dropping a rock into water and another rock into oil and comparing the ripples.
 * || P-6.2 || [|Explain how frequency and intensity affect the parts of the sonic spectrum.] ||
 * || P-6.3 || [|Explain pitch, loudness, and tonal quality in terms of wave characteristics that determine what is heard.]
 * || P-6.4 || [|Compare intensity and loudness.]


 * || P-6.5 || [|Apply formulas to determine the relative intensity of sound.] ||
 * || P-6.6 || [|Apply formulas in order to solve for resonant wavelengths in problems involving open and closed tubes.] ||
