Chapter 17: Q33P (page 508)

Male Rana catesbeiana bullfrogs are known for their loud mating call. The call is emitted not by the frog鈥檚 mouth but by its eardrums, which lie on the surface of the head. And, surprisingly, the sound has nothing to do with the frog鈥檚 inflated throat. If the emitted sound has a frequency of 260Hzand a sound level of85dB(near the eardrum), what is the amplitude of the eardrum鈥檚 oscillation? The air density is1.21kg/m3.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The eardrum鈥檚 oscillations has the amplitude of 0.76鈥夆赌坝纠.

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. Frequency: f = 260 Hz
  2. Air density:蚁=1.21鈥塳驳/尘2
  3. Level of intensity:尾=85鈥塪叠
02

Determining the concept

Find the sound intensity using the formula for the sound level in terms of intensity. Write the amplitude in terms of intensity, density, frequency and speed of sound.

Formulae are as follow:

尾=10logII0

I=12蚁v(2蟺蹿)2A2

where, I,I0 are intensities, f is frequency, A is area,蚁 is density and v is density.

03

Determining the amplitude of the eardrum’s oscillation 

From the formula for sound level,

尾=10logII0

I=I0100.1尾=(10鈭�12鈥塛/尘2)(108.5鈥塪叠)=3.162脳10鈭�4W/m2

Since, intensity of sound is defined as,

I=12蚁v(2蟺蹿)2A2

A=2I蚁v(2蟺蹿)2=2脳(3.162脳10鈭�4鈥塛/m2)(1.21鈥夆赌塳驳/m3)(340鈥尘/s)(2脳3.14脳260鈥塇锄)2=0.76鈥夆赌坝纠

Hence, the oscillations has the amplitude equal to0.76鈥夆赌坝纠 .

Question: A handclap on stage in an amphitheater sends out sound waves that scatters from terraces of width W 0.75 mfigure. The sound returns to the stage as a periodic series of pulses, one from each terrace; the parade of pulses sounds like a played note (a)Assuming that all the rays in figure are horizontal , find the frequency at which the pulses return(that is ,the frequency of the perceived note .(b)If the widthof the terraces were smaller would the frequency be higher or lower?

Two sound waves with amplitude of12鈥塶尘and a wavelength of35鈥塩尘travel in the same direction through a long tube, with a phase difference of蟺/3鈥塺补诲. What are the (a) amplitude and (b) wavelength of the net sound wave produced by their interference? If, instead, the sound waves travel through the tube in opposite directions, what are the (c) amplitude and (d) wavelength of the net wave?

Pipe Ahas length Land one open end. Pipe Bhas length 2L and two open ends. Which harmonics of pipe Bhave a frequencythat matches a resonant frequency of pipe A?

A well with vertical sides and water at the bottom resonates at 7.00Hzand at no lower frequency. (The air-filled portion of the well acts as a tube with one closed end and one open end.) The air in the well has a density of 1.10kg/m3and a bulk modulus of1.33脳105Pa. How far down in the well is the water surface?

Figure 17-48 shows an air-filled, acoustic interferometer, used to demonstrate the interference of sound waves. Sound source Sis an oscillating diaphragm; Dis a sound detector, such as the ear or a microphone. PathSBDcan be varied in length, but pathSADis fixed. At D, the sound wave coming along pathinterferes with that coming along pathSAD. In one demonstration, the sound intensity at Dhas a minimum value of 100 units at one position of the movable arm and continuously climbs to a maximum value of 900 units when that arm is shifted by 1.65鈥塩尘. Find (a) the frequency of the sound emitted by the source and (b) the ratio of the amplitude at Dof the SADwave to that of the SBDwave. (c) How can it happen that these waves have different amplitudes, considering that they originate at the same source?
