The definition of sound says that it is a disturbance of energy that comes through matter as a wave, but humans perceive sound by the sense of hearing. Our eardrums and the diaphragms of microphones are only moved by the sound pressure motions.
Sound pressure is the effect and sound power (energy) is the cause.
But our eardrums are only sensitive to the sound pressure, and so are microphone diaphragms. Think of sound pressure level meters (SPL meters).
So better ask: What is sound pressure?

∙ 12y agoAcoustic energy is transferred as sound waves. We use it to hear things.
The energy may also be contained to allow the use of a refrigerator (acoustic fridge) or to scan solid objects internally (eg ultra scan). It can be used to clean objects in ultrasonic cleaning tanks and could be used to disrupt materials if the intensity is high enough (smashing kidney stones etc).
120 dB SPL is the equivalent of 1 watt per square metre intensity. The highest sound level at atmospheric pressure is 194 dB.

∙ 12y agoYes -- Simply, acoustic energy is the energy of a 'source' transmitted through a medium (such as air or water) by the different vibrational patterns (longitudinal, transversal, etc.) of the medium's particles. Anytime there is a motion involved, there is kinetic energy.... In contrast, energy which is stored but not flowing, is dubbed as potential. An example of the latter would be a spring compressed or stretched from its equilibrium position and held fixed (not released to vibrate).

Microphone acoustic energy?
The acoustic energy gets converted into electric energy
How do you put signal in a sentence?
i have no signal on my phone i have signal on my phone i have no signal on my television i have signal on m y television the signal has been interupted i dont know the hand signal i need to know the signal what is the signal strength teach me the hand signals what is the signal for danger i have little signal i have high signal i have no signal how much signal do i have how do i tell how much signal i have is there a sign for signal by the way you already put it in a sentence by asking a question lol
Explain how an acoustic stirling engine works?
Bob told me that the acoustic stirling engines run when you hum to them. No seriously, it's true since Bob told me it was.
What is the best signal processing either a analog signal processing?
Digital signal processing is the best compared to analog signal. It is because the digital signal is moreefficienterror freeimmune to noisethan an analog signal
What does acoustic signal mean Olympics?
it mean i have no clue
What is the frequency of a signal whose wavelength is 1.5 meters?
The answer will depend on what type of signal it is: acoustic, electromagnetic and in what medium the signal is propagated.
Is it possible to produce electrical signal from Noise?
A microphone is an acoustic-to-electric transduceror sensor that converts sound into an electrical signal.
What is phonetic engine and what is the use of it?
Phonetic engine is the signal to symbol transform action module which uses the acoustic phonetic information present in the speech signal to convert the speech signal into symbolic form. It is used to convert the speech signal into subwords.
What has the author Zhiqiang Feng written?
Zhiqiang Feng has written: 'A signal processing method for the acoustic image reconstruction of planar objects'
What is the definition of a safety symbol?
A safety symbol indicates the presence of information or instructions about health or safety at work by means of a signboard, a colour, an illuminated sign or acoustic signal, a hand signal or a verbal communication.'

What is line of site signal propagation?
Line-of-sight propagation is also said as electro-magnetic radiation or acoustic wave propagation. This includes light emissions traveling in a straight line.
How do you measure acoustic waves?
use a transducer like microphone or sth to convert it to electric signal ,now u can measure electric signals easily....
