Table 17.1 shows the speed of sound is typically an order of magnitude larger in solids than in gases. To what can this higher value be most directly attributed? (a) the difference in density between solids and gases (b) the difference in compressibility between solids and gases (c) the limited size of a solid object compared to a free gas (d) the impossibility of holding a gas under significant tension
As a certain sound wave travels through the air, it produces pressure variations (above anti below atmospheric pressure) given by P = 1.27 sin (x - 34t) in SI units. Find (a) the amplitude of the pressure variations. (b) the frequency, (c) the wavelength in air. and (d| the speed of the sound wave.
Calculate the speed of sound on a day when a 1500 Hz frequency has a wavelength of 0.221 m.
The mating call of a male cicada is among the loudest noises in the insect world, reaching decibel levels of 105 dB at a distance of 1.00 m from the insect. (a) Calculate the corresponding sound intensity. (b) Calculate the sound intensity at a distance of 20.0 m from the insect, assuming the sound propagates as a spherical wave. (c) Calculate the decibel level at a distance of 20.0 m from 100 male cicadas each producing the same sound intensity.
