A sound wave in air at 20°C has a frequency of 320 Hz anda displacement amplitude of 5.00 * 10-3 mm. For this sound wavecalculate the (a) pressure amplitude (in Pa); (b) intensity (in W/m2);(c) sound intensity level (in decibels).
(a) If two sound waves, one in a gas medium and one in a liquid medium, are equal in intensity, what is the ratio of the pressure
amplitude of the wave in the liquid to that of the wave in the gas? Assume that the density of the gas is 1.81 kg/m and the density of
the liquid is 997 kg/m3. The speed of sound is 319 m/s in the gas medium and 1180 m/s in the liquid. (b) If the pressure amplitudes are
equal instead, what is the ratio of the intensities of the waves (of the one in the liquid to that in the gas)?

(a) An experimenter wishes to generate in air a sound wave that has a displacement amplitude of 6.20 10-6 m. The pressure amplitude is to be limited to0.850 Pa. What is the minimum wavelength the sound wave can have? (Take the equilibrium density of air to be ρ = 1.20 kg/m3 and assume the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m/s.)
(b) Calculate the pressure amplitude of a 2.80 kHz sound wave in air, assuming that the displacement amplitude is equal to 2.00 ✕ 10-8 m.[Note: Use the following values, as needed. The equilibrium density of air is ρ = 1.20 kg/m3. The speed of sound in air is v = 343 m/s. Pressure variations ΔP are measured relative to atmospheric pressure, 1.013 ✕ 105 Pa.]
(c) Earthquakes at fault lines in Earth's crust create seismic waves, which are longitudinal (P-waves) or transverse (S-waves). The P-waves have a speed of about 9 km/s. Estimate the average bulk modulus of Earth's crust given that the density of rock is about 2500 kg/m3.
