What is Acoustic Power?

Acoustic power is the total amount of sound energy emitted by a source per unit of time. It is measured in watts (W) and represents the rate at which sound energy is radiated from a sound source. Acoustic power is an important parameter in acoustics as it helps in understanding the efficiency and effectiveness of sound sources such as speakers, musical instruments, and industrial machinery. It is different from sound intensity, which measures the power per unit area, and sound pressure, which measures the force of the sound wave on a surface.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ P = 0.002 \times 10 = 0.02 \text{ W} \]

The Acoustic Power is 0.02 W.
