Seund-displecement.is defined as the displacement of the vibrating particles ; the medium from their rest positions. This can be represented by @ where @ is the angular frequency of oscillations (@ = 2zf) and k is the wave number (k = 27/A, A is the wavelength). If we differentiate y w.r-t. time , we get the velocity of vibrating particles, which is also known as sound-particle velocity. This is obtained as ve 2 = yo@cos( cor — kx) or v(x, 1) = yp @cos(wr - kx) di) This equation shows that there is a phase difference of m/2 between y and v. Moreover, the velocity v is different for different sound particles. EQ INTENSITY OF SOUND AND ITS DERIVATION — Go Intensity of sound at a point in a progressive wave is defined as the sound energy per unit area per un tne perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. It is measured in W/m? in the SI system of unis We consider a plane progressive simple harmonic wave travelling along the positive x-direction wit vlity (= wk). The displacement y at a time f can be represented as y=asin (@t— ke) @ From this, we find the velocity of particle by differentiating it w.r.t. time ® ~ @acos (wrk) ® dt In order to calculate the energy or the intensity of sound, we consider a medium of density.
