Chapter 17, Problem 17.22P
The intensity of a sound wave at a fixed distance from a speaker vibrating at a frequency f is I. (a) Determine the intensity that results if the frequency is increased to f′ while a constant displacement amplitude is maintained. (b) Calculate the intensity if the frequency is reduced to f/2 and the displacement amplitude is doubled.
