Decibel

StarStarStarStar

A logarithmic unit used to measure sound level, defined as 10×log10(P1P0)10 \times \log_{10}(\frac{P_{1}}{P_{0}}), where P1P_{1} is the power level of the sound and P0P_{0} is a reference power level.

Harmonics

StarStarStarStar

Waveforms that are integer multiples of a fundamental frequency, contributing to the complexity of a sound.

StarStarStarStar

Sound Pressure

StarStarStarStar

The local pressure deviation from the ambient (average or equilibrium) pressure, caused by a sound wave.

StarStarStarStar

Wavelength

StarStarStarStar

The distance between two consecutive points in phase on a wave, typically denoted as λ\lambda and calculated as λ=vf\lambda = \frac{v}{f}, where vv is the velocity of sound and ff is the frequency.

StarStarStarStar

Sound Intensity

StarStarStarStar

The power per unit area, measured in Watts per square meter (W/m2\text{W/m}^2).

StarStarStarStar

Speed of Sound

StarStarStarStar

The speed at which sound waves travel through an elastic medium. Formula in air at 20°C: v=343 m/sv = 343 \text{ m/s}.

StarStarStarStar

Beat Frequency

StarStarStarStar

The frequency of the amplitude modulations that occur when two frequencies close in value are played together, calculated as fbeat=f1f2f_{beat} = |f_{1} - f_{2}|, where f1f_{1} and f2f_{2} are the two frequencies.

StarStarStarStar

Amplitude

StarStarStarStar

The maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.

StarStarStarStar

Frequency

StarStarStarStar

The number of complete oscillations or cycles per unit time, measured in Hertz (Hz).

StarStarStarStar

Resonance

StarStarStarStar

The phenomenon that occurs when the frequency of a periodically applied force is equal to a natural frequency of the system on which it acts, resulting in maximum amplitude oscillations.
