Question
A sound wave of frequency 512hz and amplitude 2.4 x 10–3m is going through air of density 1.293kg/m3. Find the intensity of wave. Velocity of sound in air is 330m/s.
Solution
Given that,
Frequency of the sound wave = 512 Hz
Amplitude of the sound wave = 2.4 10-3 m
Density of air = 1.293 kg/m3
Intensity of the wave is,
Therefore,
Intensity, I =
I =
