On a warm summer day (32 degrees C), it takes 4.80 s for an echo to return from a cliff across a lake. On a winter day, it takes 5.20 s. The speed of sound in air is vAc (331 + 0.60T)m/s, where T is the temperature in degrees C. What is the temperature on the winter day?
A sound wave arriving at your ear is transferred to the fluid in the cochlea. If the intensity in the fluid is 0.410 times that in air and the frequency is the same as for the wave in air, what will be the ratio of the pressure amplitude of the wave in air to that in the fluid? Approximate the fluid as having the same values of density and speed of sound as water. Speed of sound in dry air (20.0°C, 1.00 atm) is 343 m/s, density of dry air (at STP) is 1.29 kg/m3, density of water is 1000 kg/m3, and speed of sound in water is 1493 m/s.
A 49.4-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 49.4-Hz sound wave?
Answer in ____ n/m.
