For sound waves in air with frequency 1000 Hz, a displacement amplitude of 1.2 x 108 m produces a pressure amplitude of 3.0 脳 10-虏 Pa. Water at 20掳C has a bulk modulus of 2.2 x 10鈦 Pa, and the speed of sound in water at this temperature is 1480 m/s. For 1000-Hz sound waves in 20掳C water, what displacement amplitude is produced if the pressure amplitude is 3.0 x 102 Pa? Explain why your answer is much less than 1.2 x 10-8 m.

Short Answer

Expert verified

A=3.2 x 10-12 m is the displacement amplitude is produced if the pressure amplitude is 3.0 x 102 Pa. The reason for A being smaller than 1.2 x 10-8 Is that Bk for water is much larger than Bk for air.

Step by step solution

01

Determination of the Displacement Amplitude

A sound wave with a frequency of 1000 Hz travels through the water with a speed of 1480 m/s. If the bulk modulus of the water is 2.2 x 10掳 Pa, determine the displacement amplitude that would be needed to produce a pressure amplitude of 3 脳 10-2 Pa.

The relation that describes the pressure amplitude for a sound wave is as follows:

Pmax=BkA--(1)


In order to make use of equation (1) first calculate k:

k=2
So, the relation between the wavelength and the frequency of a sound wave is given by the following equation:

=vf--(2)

v=1480 m/s, the speed of sound in the water.

f = 1000 Hz, the frequency of the given sound wave.

=1480m/s1000Hz=1.48m

Therefore,
k=2=4.25m-1


Now substitute the values of B, K, and Pmax, into equation (1) to get A:

310-2Pa=2.2109Pa4.25m-1A=310-2Pa2.2109Pa4.25m-1A=3.210-12m

02

Explanation for Amplitude being less than 1.2 x 10-8 m

A Is Inversely proportional to Bk, so, the reason for A being smaller than (1.2 x 10-8m) is that Bk for water is much larger than Bk for air.

Therefore, A=3.2 x 10-12 m is the displacement amplitude is produced if the pressure amplitude is 3.0 x 102 Pa. The reason for A being smaller than 1.2 x 10-8 Is that Bk for water is much larger than Bk for air.

Two train whistles, A and B, each have a frequency of 393Hz. A is stationary and B is moving toward the right (away from A) at a speed of 35m/s. A listener is between the two whistles and is moving toward the right with a speed of 15m/s. No wind is blowing. (a) What is the frequency from A as heard by the listener? (b) What is the frequency from B as heard by the listener? (c) What is the beat frequency detected by the listener?

18 A 1.50m string of weight 0.0125N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Ignore the very small variation in tension along the length of the string that is produced by the weight of the string. When you pluck the string slightly, the waves traveling up the string obey the equation

y (x, t) = (8.50 mm) cos (172 rad/mx 4830 rad/s t)

Assume that the tension of the string is constant and equal to W. (a) How much time does it take a pulse to travel the full length of the string? (b) What is the weight W? (c) How many wavelengths are on the string at any instant of time? (d) What is the equation for waves traveling down the string?

Transverse waves on a string have wave speed 8 m/s, amplitude 0.07 m, and wavelength 0.32 m . The waves travel in the -x-direction, and at t=0 the x=0 end of the string has its maximum upward displacement. (a) Find the frequency, period, and wave number of these waves. (b) Write a wave function describing the wave. (c) Find the transverse displacement of a particle at x=36 m and time t=0.15 s. (d) How much time must elapse from the instant in part (c) until the particle at x=0.36 m next has maximum upward displacement?

A piano wire with mass 3.00 g and length 80.0 cm is stretched with a tension of 25.0 N. A wave with frequency 120.0 Hz and amplitude 1.6 mm travels along the wire. (a) Calculate the average power carried by the wave. (b) What happens to the average power if the wave amplitude is halved?

Question:BIO Ultrasound and Infrasound. (a) Whale communication. Blue whales apparently communicate with each other using sound of frequency 17 Hz, which can be heard nearly 1000 km away in the ocean. What is the wavelength of such a sound in seawater, where the speed of sound is 1531 m/s? (b) Dolphin clicks. One type of sound that dolphins emit is a sharp click of wavelength 1.5 cm in the ocean. What is the frequency of such clicks? (c) Dog whistles. One brand of dog whistles claims a frequency of 25 kHz for its product. What is the wavelength of this sound? (d) Bats. While bats emit a wide variety of sounds, one type emits pulses of sound having a frequency between 39 kHz and 78 kHz. What is the range of wavelengths of this sound? (e) Sonograms. Ultrasound is used to view the interior of the body, much as x rays are utilized. For sharp imagery, the wavelength of the sound should be around one-fourth (or less) the size of the objects to be viewed. Approximately what frequency of sound is needed to produce a clear image of a tumor that is 1.0 mm across if the speed of sound in the tissue is 1550 m/s?
