Sound intensity: Difference between revisions

Content deleted Content added
the plane wave expression for the sound Intensity was lacking a source and not precisely defined. Depending if one takes the peak value of the sound pressure or the effective sound pressure there is a factor of 2 involved (see Beranek which I added as a source))

The average sound intensity during time ''T'' is given by

<math display="block">\Iota = 2\pi^2\nu^2 \delta^2 \rho c = 4\pi^2\nu^2 \delta_{rms}^2 \rho c</math>
Where,

* <math>\delta</math> is the peak amplitude of the sound wave [[particle displacement]],
* <math>\delta_{rms}</math> is the effective amplitude of the sound wave [[particle displacement]],
* <math>\rho</math> is density of medium in which sound is traveling, and
* <math>c</math> is speed of sound.

Sound intensity is defined as the time averaged product of sound pressure and acoustic particle velocity.<ref>{{Cite book | title=Sound Intensity| last=Fahy | first = Frank| date=2017 | publisher=CRC Press| isbn=978-1138474192|oclc=1008875245}}</ref> Both quantities can be directly measured by using a sound intensity ''p-u'' probe comprising a microphone and a [[Particle velocity probe|particle velocity sensor]], or estimated indirectly by using a ''p-p'' probe that approximates the particle velocity by integrating the pressure gradient between two closely spaced microphones.<ref>{{Cite book | title=Fundamentals of general linear acoustics | last=Jacobsen | first = Finn | isbn=9781118346419 | oclc=857650768 | date = 2013-07-29}}</ref>
 
Pressure-based measurement methods are widely used in anechoic conditions for noise quantification purposes. The bias error introduced by a ''p-p'' probe can be approximated by<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last1=Jacobsen|first1=Finn |last2=de Bree|first2=Hans-Elias |date=2005-09-01 |title=A comparison of two different sound intensity measurement principles |journal=The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America |volume=118 |issue=3 |pages=1510–1517 |doi=10.1121/1.1984860 |bibcode=2005ASAJ..118.1510J |s2cid=56449985 |issn=0001-4966 |url=https://backend.orbit.dtu.dk/ws/files/4449916/Jacobsen.pdf}}</ref>
