Shock Waves

Shock waves are common in continuum mechanics, and their dominance is attributable to the fact that they are stronger (or even less) compressible. Substantial perturbations propagated as sudden dynamic changes of a compressible medium supersonically. Shock waves are all around us in our daily lives. Lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impact all produce them in nature. Even the earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, generates a shock wave as in solar wind that travels around 20 Earth radiuses. These shock waves might be either constant, linked to the body, or unsteady, i.e., moving around with time. All of the shocks mentioned above can be damaging, so precautions must be taken to reduce their impact.

(b) To change the status (either from louder to softeror from softer to louder), how much the length of the lower Ushaped tube needed to be increased?
A dramatic demonstration, called “singing rods,” involvesa long, slender aluminum rod held in the hand near therod’s midpoint. The rod is stroked with the other hand.With a little practice, the rod can be made to “sing,” oremit a clear, loud, ringing sound. For an 80-cm-long rod,(a) what is the fundamental frequency of the sound?(b) What is its wavelength in the rod, and (c) what is thetraveling wavelength of the sound in air at 20°C?
The loudest sound produced by a living organism on Earth is made by the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus). These whales can produce a sound that, if heard in air at a distance of 2.60 mm , would have an intensity level of 157 dBdB . This is roughly the equivalent of 5000 trumpeting elephants. How far away can you be from a 157 dBdB sound and still just barely hear it?(Assume a point source, and ignore reflections and absorption.)
Ever since seeing as shown in the previous chapter, you have been fascinated with the hearing response in humans. You have set up an apparatus that allows you to determine your own threshold of hearing as a function of frequency. After performing the experiment and recording the results, you graph the results, which look like as shown. You are intrigued by the two dips in the curve at the right-hand side of the graph. You measure carefully and find that the minimum values of these dips occur at 3 800 Hz and 11 500 Hz. Performing some online research, you discover that the outer canal of the human ear can be modeled as an air columnopen at the outer end and closed at the inner end by the eardrum. You use this information to determine the length of the outer canal in your ear.
Two loudspeakers, placed on opposite walls of a 10m long room, emit pure sine waves at f= 170 Hz coherently.
