1 Music Sound Part II

2 What is the study of sound called? Acoustics

3 What is the difference between music and noise? Music: Sound that follows a regular pattern; a mixture of frequencies which have a clear mathematical relationship between them. Noise: Sound that does not have a regular pattern; a mixture of frequencies whose mathematical relationship to one another is not readily discernible.

4 SOURCES OF SOUND Sound comes from a vibrating object. If an object vibrates with frequency and intensity within the audible range, it produces sound we can hear. MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS String Instruments: guitar, violin and piano Wind Instruments: Open Pipe: flute and some organ pipes Closed Pipe: clarinet, oboe and saxophone Percussion Instruments: Drums, bells, cymbals

5 As a string vibrates, it sets surrounding air molecules into vibrational motion. (called forced vibrations) The frequency at which these air molecules vibrate is equal to the frequency of vibration of the guitar string. Forced vibrations: the vibration of an object caused by another vibrating object. AKA Resonance

6 Standing Waves A type of resulting in interference reflection. Created when periodic waves with equal amplitude and wavelength reflect and superimpose on one another.

10 Nodes: appear stationary and are due to destructive interference. Antinodes: appear to vibrate and are due to constructive interference.

11 Standing Wave: A result of interference. Occurs at harmonic frequencies only created within the medium at specific frequencies of vibration (harmonic frequencies) as frequency of the wave, increases number of nodes and antinodes increases in the same amount of space

12 Ruben s Tube Ruben's Tube - YouTube

13 Standing Waves The nodes and antinodes remain in a fixed position for a given frequency. There can be more than one frequency for standing waves in a single string. Frequencies at which standing waves can be produced are called the natural (or resonant) frequencies.

14 A guitar or piano string is fixed at both ends and when the string is plucked, standing waves can be produced in the string. Standing waves are produced by interference Resulting in nodes an antinodes 2-antinode Demo mini-wiggler

15 When an instrument produces sound, it forms standing waves and resonates at several related frequencies. Fundamental Frequency(1 st harmonic): the lowest frequency that an instrument vibrates at. Defines it s pitch Overtones: Other frequencies the instrument resonates at Harmonics= Overtones that are whole number multiple of the fundamental frequency. The harmonics enhance the quality

16 Sound Spectrum Intstruments do not produce a single sound wave

17 Superposition of many sine waves sawtooth wave f = 500 Hz (A = 1) f + 2f (A 2 = 1/2) f + 2f + 3f (A 3 = 1/3) f + 2f + 3f + 4f + 5f (A 5 = 1/5) 10 harmonics

20 Boundary Conditions on a String Since the ends are fixed, they will be the nodes. The wavelengths of the standing waves have a simple relation to the length of the string. The lowest frequency called the fundamental frequency (1 st harmonic)has only one antinode. That corresponds to half a wavelength:

21 The other natural frequencies are called overtones. They are also called harmonics and they are integer multiples of the fundamental. The fundamental is called the first harmonic. The next frequency has two antinodes and is called the second harmonic.

22 The equation for strings is f frequency in hertz n number of harmonic L length of string in meters V velocity in medium in meters/sec λ - wavelength in meters - n can be any integer value greater than one.

23 A wave travels through a string at 220m/s. Find the fundamental frequency (1 st Harmonic) of the string if its length is 0.50m. v= 220 m/s L = 0.5 m n = 1 f = nv/2l f =(1)(220 m/s) /(2)(0.5m) f = 220 Hz

24 Find the next two frequencies (2 nd and 3 rd harmonics) of the string. Second Harmonic Third Harmonic

25 A wave travels through a string at 220m/s. Find the fundamental frequency (2nd Harmonic) of the string if its length is 0.50m. v= 220 m/s L = 0.5 m n = 1 f = nv/2l f =(2)(220 m/s) /(2)(0.5m) f = 440 Hz

26 A wave travels through a string at 220m/s. Find the fundamental frequency (3rd Harmonic) of the string if its length is 0.50m. v= 220 m/s L = 0.5 m n = 1 f = nv/2l f =(3)(220 m/s) /(2)(0.5m) f = 660 Hz

27 What is the pattern that you are seeing? What do you think the frequency is for the 4 th harmonic?

28 If you had a string that was 10 m long and it was vibrating in the 5 th harmonic, how would you solve for wavelength? v/λ = nv/2l Rearrange to solve for λ 2Lv/nv = λ λ = 2L/n λ = 20m /5 = 4m

29 When string is longer, the Wavelength is Longer Therefore the frequency is Lower

30 The sounds produced by vibrating strings are not very loud. Many stringed instruments make use of a sounding board or box, sometimes called a resonator, to amplify the sounds produced. The strings on a piano are attached to a sounding board while for guitar strings a sound box is used. When the string is plucked and begins to vibrate, the sounding board or box begins to vibrate as well (forced vibrations). Since the board or box has a greater area in contact with the air, it tends to amplify the sounds. On a guitar or a violin, the length of the strings are the same, but their mass per length is different. That changes the velocity and so the frequency changes.

31 Frequency in string depends on Length of string: inverse or direct? Inverse As string length goes up frequency decreases Tension: inverse or direct? Direct As tension increases frequency increases (shortening string) Thickness: inverse or direct? Inverse As thickness increases frequency decreases

32 The speed v of waves on a string depends on the string tension T and linear mass density (mass/length) µ, measured in kg/m. Waves travel faster on a tighter string and the frequency is therefore higher for a given wavelength. On the other hand, waves travel slower on a more massive string and the frequency is therefore lower for a given wavelength. The relationship between speed, tension and mass density is a bit difficult to derive, but is a simple formula: v = T/µ Since the fundamental wavelength of a standing wave on a guitar string is twice the distance between the bridge and the fret, all six strings use the same range of wavelengths. To have different pitches (frequencies) of the strings, then, one must have different wave speeds. There are two ways to do this: by having different tension T or by having different mass density µ (or a combination of the two). If one varied pitch only by varying tension, the high strings would be very tight and the low strings would be very loose and it would be very difficult to play. It is much easier to play a guitar if the strings all have roughly the same tension; for this reason, the lower strings have higher mass density, by making them thicker and, for the 3 low strings, wrapping them with wire. From what you have learned so far, and the fact that the strings are a perfect fourth apart in pitch (except between the G and B strings in standard tuning), you can calculate how much µ increases between strings for T to be constant.

33 WIND INSTRUMENTS Wind instruments produce sound from the vibrations of standing waves occur in of columns air inside a pipe or a Open Pipe Boundary: Antinode to antinode Closed Pipe Boundary: Node to antinode Open at both ends pipe Closed at one end pipe

34 So for an Open tube, since each harmonic increases by ½ a wavelength, calculation is same as for string. However use velocity of sound in air (usually 340 m/s) 1 st Harmonic is ½ of a wavelength

35 For a half-closed tube Different than open pipes due to boundary. Start at ¼ λ and build by ½ a λ. Use velocity of sound in air (usually 340 m/s) 4 1 st Harmonic is ¼ of a wavelength Why a 4?

36 HARMONICS a) For open pipe The harmonics will be all multiples of the fundamental n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 b) For closed pipe The harmonics will be the odd multiples of the fundamental n = 1, 3, 5, 7,

37 Ex 6: A pipe that is open at both ends is 1.32 m long, what is the frequency of the waves in the pipe? v = 340 m/s L = 1.32 m f = nv 2L = (1) (340) 2 (1.32m) = Hz Ex 7: What if it was closed at one end? f = nv 4L = (1) (340) 4 (1.32m) = Hz

38 Ex 8: An organ pipe that is open at both ends has a fundamental frequency of Hz when the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s. What is the length of this pipe? f = nv 2L f' = 370 Hz v = 331 m/s 370 = (1)(331) 2 L L = (1)(331) 2(370) = 0.45 m

39 How can you change the fundamental frequency of a wind instrument? Change the length of the air column: open and close valves As the length shortens, the wavelength gets Shorter Which means the frequency gets Higher And the pitch is higher

40 Beats..or how to tune a guitar! Beat frequency refers to the rate at which the volume is heard to be from oscillating high to low volume. It is due to the interference effect resulting from the superposition of two waves of slightly different frequencies propagating in the same direction

41 The beat frequency between two sound waves is the absolute difference in the frequencies of the two sounds. f beat = f A - f B Ex I: Given a sound at 382 Hz and a sound at 388 Hz: f beat = 6Hz The human ear cannot detect beat frequencies of greater than 10Hz. Musical instruments are tuned to a single note when the beat frequencies disappear.
