Question
A 62.5-Hz sound wave is barely audible at a sound intensity level of 60.0 dB. The density of air at 20.0°C is 1.20 kg/m3. Speed of sound in air at 20.0°C is 343 m/s.
What is the displacement amplitude of a 62.5-Hz sound wave? in nm
What is the ratio of the displacement amplitude to the average distance between molecules in air at room temperature, about 2.00 nm?

- A capillary wave is a wave traveling across the surface of a fluid that is driven by the surface tension within the fluid. The speed v of a capillary wave depends on the density of the fluid ?ρ , the wavelength of the wave ?λ, and the surface tension ?σ . The SI units of surface tension are J/m2. The capillary wave speed can be written as ?=???????v=kσaρbλc , where k is some unitless constant. What must be the value of c?arrow_forwardWeek 3 #2arrow_forwardThank you!
