Sound energy density
Sound quantities |
---|
The sound energy density (symbol E or w ) is a measure to describe the sound energy present at a certain location in the sound field . It is a sound energy quantity . The associated logarithmic quantity is the sound energy density level.
definition
The sound energy density E is the sound energy per volume unit:
It gives information about the sound energy W at a certain location of a sound field and is its energy density .
The unit of sound energy density is joules per cubic meter (J / m³).
In the special case of the even advancing wave, the time-averaged sound energy density is:
- ,
where I is the sound intensity and c is the speed of sound .
Sound energy density level
Occasionally the sound energy density is also given in the form of a sound energy density level L E in decibels (dB):
The reference value is defined as J / m³ or W · s / m³.
