Sound Frequency and Wavelength Analysis

The document outlines a performance task involving the Spectroid app to record the frequency of a song at different volumes, yielding frequencies of 349Hz, 557Hz, and 832Hz. It includes calculations for the wavelength of sound waves based on these frequencies and the speed of light, resulting in wavelengths of approximately 859,598.85m, 538,599.64m, and 360,576.92m respectively. Additionally, it computes the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) using given RMS values, resulting in an S/N ratio of 36 dB.

4. Calculate each sound source's wavelength (λ) using the
recorded frequencies. Simplify the answer.

calculating the wavelength of sound waves

Formula:

(𝑚) f -
λ - wavelength

Frequency (𝐻𝑧)
c – wave speed or speed of light (𝑚/𝑠)

a. 20% = 349Hz
λ=?
nf = 349Hz
c = 3 x 108m/s

Solution: λ = (3x108ms) / (349Hz) = 859598.8539m

b.50%=557Hz Given
λ=?
n𝑓 = 557Hz
c = 3 x 108m/s

Solution: λ = (3𝑥108𝑚s) / (557𝐻z) = 538599.6409m

c. 100% =832Hz
λ =?
n𝑓 = 832Hz

c = 3 x 108m/s

Solution: λ = (3𝑥108𝑚s) / ( 832𝐻z) = 360576.9231m

5. Assume that the signals have 1.98 volts RMS (root mean
square) and are being corrupted by 30 mV RMS of noise.
Compute the S/N ratio.

Formula:

Given:
V𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑙 = 1.98V rms

V𝑛𝑜𝑖𝑠𝑒 = 30mV rms


Millivolts to Volts
30mV x 0.001 =
0.03V

𝑆𝑁 (𝑑𝑏) =20log10(1.98/ 0.03)


𝑆𝑁 (𝑑𝑏) = 20log10(66)
Solution:

𝑆𝑁 (𝑑𝑏) = 20x1.82
𝑆𝑁 (𝑑𝑏) = 36
