Summary of El Sonido y sus Propiedades

00:00:00 - 00:00:00

Sound is produced when an emitter creates vibrations in a medium, which are then received by a receptor. The properties of sound include height, duration, intensity, and tone. These terms are mostly used in music, but they are also used in physics. Acoustics has its own units of measurement, such as hertz (Hz), which is the frequency of a sound wave. The intensity of sound is usually measured in decibels (dB), which is the noise of leaves or a whisper at 60 dB, a conversation at 80 dB, a baby's cry at 110 dB, and a plane taking off at 140 dB. The timbre of sound is the harmonic sound of a wave, and these harmonic sounds behave differently depending on what wave is producing them.

• 00:00:00 In this video, Andres explains sound as it is produced, transmitted, and received. He discusses the emitter, medium, and receptor, and how the sound passes through a medium, such as air or water, to be received by the inner ear. Andres also discusses the acoustics of sound, which is the study of the production, transmission, and reception of sound. The properties of sound that you should know are height, duration, intensity, and tone. These terms are mostly used in music, but they are also used in physics. Acoustics has its own units of measurement, such as hertz (Hz), which is the frequency of a sound wave. The intensity of sound is usually measured in decibels (dB), which is the noise of leaves or a whisper at 60 dB, a conversation at 80 dB, a baby's cry at 110 dB, and a plane taking off at 140 dB. The timbre of sound is the harmonic sound of a wave, and these harmonic sounds behave differently depending on what wave is producing them. For example, the fundamental (the lowest-frequency sound) will produce an harmonic that is twice as loud as the original sound, but it will eventually become so faint that we can't hear it
