Measurement of sound waves show that the maximum pressure variations in the loudest sound that the ear can tolerate without pain are of the order of 30 Pa. Find the corresponding maximum displacement, if the frequency is `1000 Hz and v = 350 m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`k = (omega)/(v) = (2(3.14)(1000))/(350) = 18m^(-1)`
`B = gammap = (1.4)(10^(5))`
`a = (P)/(B K) = (30)/((1.4 xx 10^(5))(18))`
` = 1 . 18 xx 10^(-5) = 0 . 0 118 m m `

the maximum pressure variation that the human ear can tolerate in loud sound is about 30 N //m^(2) . The corresponding maximum displacement for a sound wave ina air having a frequency of 10^(3) Hz is take velocity of sound in air as 300 m/s and density of air 1.5 kg // m ^(3)

The faintest sound the human ear can detect at a frequency of 1000 Hz correspond to an intensity of about 1.00xx10^-12(W)/(m^2) , which is called threshold of hearing. The loudest sounds the ear can tolerate at this frequency correspond to an intensity of about 1.00(W)/(m^2) , the threshold of pain. Detemine the pressure amplitude and displacement amplitude associated with these two limits. Take speed of sound =342(m)/(s) and density of air =1.20(kg)/(m^3)

The maximum pressure amplitude Delta p_m that the human ear can tolerate in loud sounds is about 28 Pa (which is very much less than the normal air pressure of about 10^5 Pa). What is the displacement amplitude s_m for such a sound in air of density rho= 1.21 kg//m^3 , at a frequency of 1000 Hz and a speed of 343 m/s?

A typical loud sound wave with a frequency of 1 Kh_(Z) has a pressure amplitude of about 10 Pa (a) At t = 0 , the pressure is a maximum at some point X_(1) . What is the displacement at that point at t = 0 ? (b) What is the maximum value of the displacement at any time and place/ Take the density of air to be 1.29 kg//m^(3) and speed of sound in air is 340 m//s .

A point sound source is situated in a medium of dulk modulus 1.6 xx 10^(5) N//m^(2) . An observer standing at a distance 10 m from the source writes down the equeation for the wave as y = A sin (15 pi x - 6000 pi t) . Here y and x are in meter and t is in second. The maximum pressure ampulitude received to the observer's ear is (24 pi) pa, then find. (a) the density of the medium, (b) the displacement ampulitude A of the wave recived by the observer and (c ) the power of the sound source.

The pressure variation that correspond to pain threshold (i.e., the ear can tolerate in loud sound) is about 30 Pa. velocity of sound in water is sqrt(2)xx10^3m//s . The intensity of sound wave produced in water corresponding to loud sound is
