  • We learn a lot about our surroundings thanks to sound. But... what is it exactly? Sound, that is. What is sound? And how does it travel? And what is this doppler effect that we've heard so much about? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini goes over some of the basics (and some of the not-so-basics) of the Physics of Sound.

    One thing I missed in this episode is that even though we cannot hear sounds outside of our hearing spectrum, it doesn´t mean that they have no effect on us.

      It's frequency is way too much so therefore the eardrums can't produce much amplitude in order for us to hear because the eardrum don't have enough time to go back and forth much distance look it's complicated just Google it

    My friends and I were walking through a high end bank looking for a bathroom when we were all in high school and when we reached the third floor, it sounded like a fire alarm was going off. We were looking around and none of the employees or customers were reacting in the slightest, and just kept going on with business. Thinking something was wrong, we left. Looking back, all of the employees and customers were 45-60 years old. After watching this video, I realize it was probably one of those security systems you were talking about, because the sound wasn't particularly urgent, but it was really high pitched. More than anything else, I'm kinda pissed that it worked. They got us to leave, bladders full, under the cloak of confusion at the sound. I feel so played.

    Sound is a form of energy that produces sensation of hearing in our ears.
    Sound is produced when a body vibrates.
    Sound needs a medium to travel. It cannot travel in vacuum.
    Sound travels faster in solid medium (like wood) as compared to water and air.
    All musical instruments have vibrating parts/which produce sound.
    In human beings, sound is produced by the voice box or the larynx.
    We hear through the vibration of our eardrum, whenever sound reaches our ears.
    The number of oscillations per second is called the frequency of oscillation (f) and is expressed in hertz (Hz). A frquency of 1 Hz is one oscillation per second.
    The time needed to complete one oscillation is called time period (T). Hence, the number of oscillations per unit time is the frequency of wave f = 1 /T.
    The maximum displacement of the wave crest from the central position on either side is called its amplitude.
    We differentiate sounds on the basis of their amplitudes and frequencies.
    A human being can hear sound waves within a range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Some animals like dogs can hear sounds higher than 20,000 Hz.
    The larger the amplitude of vibration, the louder is the sound.
    Loudness of sound is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the vibration producing the sound. The loudness is expressed in a unit called decibel (dB).
    Shrillness or the pitch of a sound depends upon its frequency. Higher the frequency, higher is the pitch and vice-versa.
    Unwanted, unpleasant sound is noise. Loud noise produces noise pollution, which is harmful and may cause hearing impairment.
    The velocity of sound in air is approx.330ms−1
    under standard temperature and pressure conditions. It varies with temperature, pressure, humidity and density of medium.

    Hey Crash Course, I really like this channel. The diversity of topics and depth of insight is something that is, in my opinion, unrivaled by most other RUclips channels. The idea of this channel alone, that being videos of moderate length explaining a range of topics in detail, is priceless. Now more than ever it is vitally important to the American economy that our citizens be intellectually literate, especially in fields such as science and technology. Come to think of it, it may be a good idea for you guys to make a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) playlist. Just a thought.
    On another note, what would you guys/girls (meaning whoever is reading this) of an interview series on Crash Course? It would be really interesting to see Crash Course collaborate with scientists, artists, authors, poets... etc. Couple that with longer interviews with the guest and I think it would have the potential to really grow the channel and even further diversify the content, appealing to a different breed of knowledge junkie. I can only hope that some high profile names in the various fields of expertise would be willing to collaborate. Richard Dawkins for biology, Lawrence Krauss for particle physics, Bill Nye for climate change and engineering, Cornell West for social and political reformation and history, and so on and so forth. I believe that and do of those names have collaborated with the channel Big Think (which is another channel that I love), and they have only have about 1/3rd of the amount of subscribers that Crash Course has. Not to mention their connection to PBS, which may hold some sway. I believe that Crash Course is connected to a few other large channels as well, like SciShow, which could also host those sort of interviews and collaborations.

    • @jimsagubigula7337
      @jimsagubigula7337 4 года назад

      Ehhhh, the amplitude of sound waves (I use sound as an example, but this is true for every longitudinal wave) is the maximum distance that the particles of the medium travel from the resting position. Let's say S is the distance traveled, then Smax is the amplitude. It is true that Smax=ΔPmax/Bk. Where ΔPmax is the maximum change of pressure, B is the bulk modulus of the medium and k is the wave number. Please ask me if you have any more questions.

    I just feel this diagram is talking of amplitude whereas speaker is replacing the word with frequency... Now I'm confused to understand if frequency corresponds to amplitude or amplitude corresponds to frequency or vice versa or they are synonymous in use! Some expert, Help me

      No, frequency and amplitude are different things.

    Episode 24 "Light" confirmed.... damn, still have to wait so long...

      @iamsuccessful2241 8 лет назад

      "Light" is the episode 24 of Crash Course Astronomy and not Crash Course Physics........ so basically, you don't need to wait cause it's already there....go to the previous episodes of Crash Course Astronomy.. :)

    It's really quite fascinating to realize that the correlation between music & mathematics is literally off the charts.
    I didn't learn how to read music (other than strumming chords on a guitar) until I was almost 50... Or so I thought!!
    I really did try my best... well, actually what I thought was my best, to learn how to play musical notes on the guitar when I was in middle school as well.
    Honestly, I don't know if this is true for everyone but I was super surprised at what it took for me to understand fairly basic all-around music theory. What it took for things to click for me was to 1st apply it on a piano rather than a guitar.
    And to go even one stepfurther, if someone would have told me right off the bat how music theory is so dependant mathematics to the point of being inseperable, I would have looked at it from a completely different perspective.
    BUT in as much as I know this to be soooo completely true/irrefreputable, it's still really hard to wrap my head around the very idea that such a creative artform such as music depends so heavily on something as technical as mathematics.
    I guess that subconsciouly, I always felt like I had to hide one side of my brain or the other because having two dominant sides ofthe brain is an oxymoron 🤷 ✌️💞✌️

    @6:50 the number of which you need to take the log is not "a trillion Watt per metre-square". it has no dimension since you divided a quantity by another quantity of the same dimension or unit. So it's just "a trillion", period. This why (deci)bels are so confusing: to compute them, you need to take some reference point (noted I_0 in the video); this is why there are actually several (and possibly, infinitely many) decibel scales depending on the reference chosen for a particular application. Oh, and there actually is an absolute maximum to that scale: when the sound wave becomes so intense that the depressed phase of the wave basically becomes a vacuum or "cavitates".

    Wait, measure the distance of stars? I would say the relative speed the star is moving to earth. Also I highly recommend that everybody build at least one set of hifi speakers, measuring the impedance and characteristics, running simulations, applying Thiele/Small theory in the design of passive crossovers. I learned a lot by doing that three years ago just for fun. Buying a calibrated microphone is not that expensive and a nice DIY project can be made, learning A LOT about sound. Hmm. Now that I think of it, I forgot most of it. :-)

    Okay, so... if 1 bel is 10 times as loud as 0 bels, and 2 bels is 100 times as loud as 0 bels, how does that translate into decibels? Is 1 decibel 100 times louder than 0 decibels?
