Consider an oscillator that vibrates at 1250 Hz. It produces a wave that travels in an ideal gas at 325 m/s. Consider the compressibility modulus B = 1.42 × 105 Pa and the pressure amplitude 3.0 × 10−2 Pa. (a) write an expression that describes the pressure fluctuation of this system, leaving of course the values of k, ω. (b) write an expression that describes the displacement. Also make clear the breadth of displacement.
