  • Constructor Details

    • AcousticWave

      public AcousticWave(Real frequency, Real amplitude, Real speedOfSound)

  • Method Details

    • getWavelength

      public Real getWavelength()
      Wavelength: $\lambda = c / f$

    • getAngularFrequency

      public Real getAngularFrequency()
      Angular frequency: $\omega = 2\pi f$

    • getWaveNumber

      public Real getWaveNumber()
      Wave number: $k = 2\pi / \lambda = \omega / c$

    • getIntensity

      public Real getIntensity()
      Intensity (power per unit area): $I = p^2 / (2 \rho c)$ Simplified for air at STP: $\rho \approx 1.2 kg/m^3$

    • getSPL

      public Real getSPL()
      Sound Pressure Level in dB: $SPL = 20 \log_{10}(p / p_0)$ where $p_0 = 20 \mu Pa$ (threshold of hearing)

    • getFrequency

      public Real getFrequency()

    • getAmplitude

      public Real getAmplitude()

    • getSpeedOfSound

      public Real getSpeedOfSound()
