Calculate the pressure amplitude (in m) of a 45 kHz sound wave in pure hydrogen if it has adisplacement amplitude of 1.5 mm. (ρH2 = 0.08 kg/m3, v = 1286 m/s.)
What should be the power output of a speaker in order to produce a sound wave that has pressure amplitude 190 mPa at a distance of 6.75m away? Assume that the sound is spreading freely through room-temperature air of density 1.22 kg/m3.
A milli-Pascal (mPa) is 10^-3 N/m2.
A sound wave arriving at your ear is transferred to the fluid in the cochlea. If the intensity in the fluid is 0.410 times that in air and the frequency is the same as for the wave in air, what will be the ratio of the pressure amplitude of the wave in air to that in the fluid? Approximate the fluid as having the same values of density and speed of sound as water. Speed of sound in dry air (20.0°C, 1.00 atm) is 343 m/s, density of dry air (at STP) is 1.29 kg/m3, density of water is 1000 kg/m3, and speed of sound in water is 1493 m/s.
