Calculate Acoustic Impedance



Formula

To calculate the Acoustic Impedance (Z):

\[ Z = \rho \times v \]

What is Acoustic Impedance?

Acoustic impedance is a fundamental concept in the study of acoustics that quantifies the resistance of a medium to the transmission of sound waves. It represents the combined effect of a material’s density and compressibility on sound propagation.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ Z = 1000 \times 1500 = 1500000 \text{ kg/(m²·s)} \]

The Acoustic Impedance is 1,500,000 kg/(m²·s).
