Specific acoustic impedance or characteristic
impedance z is a property of the medium and of the

FOURIER'S LAW FOR HEAT
CONDUCTION, HEAT FLUX
Sound waves produce proportional changes in
pressure, density, and temperature Since the
periodic change in temperature is spread over the
length of a wavelength, the change in temperature per
unit distance is very small
General solution for a symmetric spherical wave:
p = P - P0 acoustic pressure [Pa]
r = radial distance from the center of the sphere [m]
A = magnitude of the positive-traveling
wave[Pa]
B = magnitude of the
negative-traveling wave[Pa]
SPHERICAL WAVE BEHAVIOR
Spherical wave behavior changes markedly for very
small or very large radii Since this is also a function
of the wavelength, we base this on the kr product
where kr ∝ r/λ
For kr ? 1, i.e r ? λ (far from the source):
In this case, the spherical wave is much like a plane
wave with the impedance z ; ρ0c and with p and u in
phase
For kr = 1, i.e r = λ (close to the source):
In this case, the impedance is almost purely reactive

The human ear perceives different frequencies at

Therefore in the analysis of sound levels, it is
necessary to divide the frequency spectrum into

of an octave, e.g N=2 describes a ½-octave band

dBA WEIGHTED SOUND LEVELS (13.2) Since the ear doesn't perceive sound pressure levels uniformly across the frequency spectrum, several correction schemes have been devised to produce a more realistic scale The most common is the A-weighted scale with units of dBA From a reference point of 1000 Hz, this scale rolls off strongly for lower frequencies, has a modest gain in the 2-4 kHz region and rolls off slightly at very high frequencies Other scales are dBB and dBC Most standards, regulations and inexpensive sound level meters employ the A-weighted scale
