(For icoheret waes the phase relatio aries radomly.) Costructie itererece occurs whe the waes are i phase with each other. The amplitude o the resultig wae is the sum o the amplitudes o the two waes, A + A Destructie itererece occurs whe the waes are 8 o out o phase with each other. The amplitude o the resultig wae is the dierece o the amplitudes o the two waes, A A Otherwise the wae has amplitude betwee A A ad (A + A).

Whe coheret waes iterere, the amplitudes add or costructie itererece ad subtract or destructie itererece. Sice itesity is proportioal to the square o the amplitude, you caot simply add or subtract the itesities o the coheret waes whe they iterere. For icoheret waes, there is o ixed phase relatio. The total itesity is the sum o the itesities o the idiidual waes. Diractio Diractio is the spreadig o waes aroud a obstacle. The obstacle must be similar i size to the waelegth o the wae or the eect to be oticeable.

Sice the displacemet creates the pressure chage, there is a relatioship betwee the amplitude o the pressure p ad the amplitude o the displacemet s. For a harmoic soud wae the relatio is p s A larger amplitude wae appears louder, but the relatio betwee amplitude ad loudess is ery complicated. oudess is subjectie ad depeds o the respose o the ear ad the brai. Usually the itesity ad ot the amplitude is used or loudess. Agai or a harmoic wae p The most importat thig to remember is that itesity is proportioal to the amplitude squared, which is true or all waes, ot just soud. (p 7) Decibel Scale The perceptio o hearig is roughly proportioal to the logarithm o the itesity. The lowest itesity o soud that ca be heard by most people is. W/m esso 5, page 5

The soud itesity leel i decibels is deied as ( db)log (Be sure to practice with the decibel scale. ogarithms ca be tricky.) A itesity leel o db correspods to the threshold o hearig. For icoheret soud waes with itesities ad, the total itesity is the soud waes are coheret, the waes ca iterere ad the itesity is betwee ad +, depedig o the phase relatioship betwee the two waes.
