Calculate the bulk modulus of air from the following data about a sound wave of wavelength 35 cm travelling in air. The pressure at a point varies between ` (1.0 xx 10^5+-14)` Pa and the particles of the air vibrate in simple harmonic motion of amplitude ` 5.5 xx 10^-6m`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D
We know that
Bulk modulus
`B=(/_\p)/((/_\v/v)=(p_0lamda)/(2piS_0)`
`where P_0=` pressure amplitude
`P_0=1.0xx10^5`
`rarr displacement amplitude`
`rarr S_0=5.5xx10^-6m`
`rarr B=((14xx35xx10^-2m)/(2pi(5.5)xx10^-6m))`
`=1.4xx10^5N/m^2`
