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: In Fig. 17-27, pipe Ais made to oscillate in its third harmonicby a small internal sound source. Sound emitted at the right endhappens to resonate four nearby pipes, each with only one openend (they are notdrawn to scale). Pipe Boscillates in its lowestharmonic, pipe Cin its second lowest harmonic, pipe Din itsthird lowest harmonic, and pipe Ein its fourth lowest harmonic.Without computation, rank all five pipes according to theirlength, greatest first. (Hint:Draw the standing waves to scale andthen draw the pipes to scale.)

Question: A column of soldiers, marching at 120paces per minute, keep in step with the beat of drummer at the head of the column. The soldiers in the rear end of the column are striding forward with the left foot when the drummer is advancing with the right foot. What is the approximate length of the column?

A siren emitting a sound of frequency 1000鈥塇锄moves away from you toward the face of a cliff at a speed of 10鈥尘/s. Take the speed of sound in air as 330鈥尘/s.

(a) What is the frequency of the sound you hear coming directly from the siren?

(b) What is the frequency of the sound you hear reflected off the cliff?

(c) What is the beat frequency between the two sounds? Is it perceptible (less than 20鈥塇锄)?

In figure, two speakers separated by the distanced1=2.00mare in phase. Assume the amplitudes of the sound waves from the speakers are approximately the same at the listener鈥檚 ear at distanced2=3.75mdirectly in front of one speaker. Consider the full audible range for normal hearing, 20Hz to20鈥�KHz.
