For a wave displacement amplitude is \(10^{-8} \mathrm{~m}\), density of air \(1.3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\), velocity in air \(340 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\), and frequency is \(2000 \mathrm{~Hz}\). The intensity of wave is (A) \(5.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{-2}\) (B) \(5.3 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{-2}\) (C) \(3.5 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{-2}\) (D) \(3.5 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{-2}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The intensity of the wave is approximately \(5.3 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{-2}\).

Step by step solution

01

Substitute the given values

Let's substitute the values of amplitude, density, velocity, and frequency in the intensity formula. Amplitude = \(10^{-8} \mathrm{~m}\) Density = \(1.3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\) Velocity = \(340 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) Frequency = 2000 Hz
02

Calculate the angular frequency

To find the angular frequency, we can use the following relation: Angular frequency = 2π × frequency Angular frequency = 2π × 2000 Hz = 4000π rad/s
03

Calculate the intensity of the wave

Now, we can use the formula: Intensity = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (density) × (velocity) × (angular frequency)² × (amplitude)² Intensity = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × \(1.3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\) × \(340 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) × \((4000\pi \mathrm{~rad} \mathrm{~s}^{-1})^2\) × \((10^{-8} \mathrm{~m})^2\) Intensity ≈ \(5.33 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{-2}\) Comparing the result with the given options, the intensity of the wave is close to option (B): (B) \(5.3 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{m}^{-2}\)
