Sounddoctrine
- 1. This is just a pre-lude/ breakdown of what God knew me to be able to handle within my life.. especially as someone who mixes music... In accordance to many different doctrines, or teachings to help aid, I have found that using a reference to the physics of actual "sound" is more than a Sound doctrine to symbolize my Musings.
- 2. To create vibration there must be a certain amount of surface tension in the vibrating body. Solid objects or reeds possess inherent tension. Strings or membranes must first be stretched to sustain vibration. The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 3. A medium of sound transmission must be present to transmit vibrations of a sound source to a receiver. Two efficient mediums of sound transmission are gases (such as air) and liquids (such as water). The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 4. Sound is not capable of being transmitted in a vacuum. Water is a more efficient transmitter of sound compared to air as sound travels faster and further in water. The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 5. A vibrating source transmits its vibrations through a medium by causing the medium to move, or vibrate, at exactly the same speed of vibration as the source itself. The movement of the gas or liquid medium is identical to surface waves found on any large body of water. The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 6. Surface waves on water move up and down, and they transmit energy from one point to another Û from a source (tidal action, wind, a passing ship, an earthquake) to receiver (the shoreline). The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 7. Sound transmission through the air is accomplished by a similar physical process. The sound source initiates waves in the air, and the air moves up and down (like surface water waves) at the same rate of speed as the sound source. The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 8. This motion of the medium is sensed by a receiver, such as the human ear or a recording microphone. One complete up-and-down movement of the sound source is called a cycle and the rate of speed of the vibrations of a particular sound source is measured in the number of complete cycles that the source moves per second (cycles per second or "cps"). The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 9. In recent years the expression of cps has been assigned to a proper name, Hertz (Hz), after Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894). Hertz generated and detected electromagnetic waves across the length of his laboratory on a wavelength of approximately one metre. The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 10. To detect the electromagnetic waves Hertz employed a simple form of oscillator, which he termed a resonator. Cps is now expressed as Hz (i.e. 1000 Hz, rather than 1000 cps). The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 11. A Sound receiver senses vibrating motion from a source which is transmitted through a medium. The human hearing organ, the ear, is a sound receiver, as is a recording microphone. The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 12. The human hearing network consists of the outer ear chamber, the ear canal, the eardrum (the tympanic membrane), and the inner ear (cochlea) in the shape of a spiral. The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 13. The inner ear contains innumerable minute hair (cilia) outgrowths of graduated sizes that respond to different speeds of sound vibrations transmitted by the tympanic membrane. The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 14. The network of minute cilia receptors is directly connected to the nervous system, which sends the information sensed by the cilia directly to the brain, where it is processed and reacted to by different parts of the body. The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
- 15. In summary, sound is a phenomenon of vibration from a source through a medium to a receiver. Sound is ultimately processed by the nervous system of the hearer, and, according to Evelyn Glennie, is experienced by the entire body. The S~o~u~n~d doctrine to OceansOntology
