The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum displacement (amplitude) of a sound wave in air given the maximum pressure variation, we can use the relationship between pressure variation, frequency, density, and amplitude of the wave. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Maximum pressure variation, \( \Delta P = 30 \, \text{N/m}^2 \) - Frequency, \( f = 10^3 \, \text{Hz} \) - Velocity of sound in air, \( v = 300 \, \text{m/s} \) - Density of air, \( \rho = 1.5 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) 2. **Use the formula for maximum pressure variation**: The relationship between maximum pressure variation (\( \Delta P \)), frequency (\( f \)), density (\( \rho \)), and amplitude (\( A \)) is given by: \[ \Delta P = 2 \pi f \rho v A \] Rearranging this formula to solve for amplitude \( A \): \[ A = \frac{\Delta P}{2 \pi f \rho v} \] 3. **Substituting the values into the formula**: \[ A = \frac{30}{2 \pi (10^3) (1.5) (300)} \] 4. **Calculating the denominator**: - First, calculate \( 2 \pi \): \[ 2 \pi \approx 6.2832 \] - Now, calculate the entire denominator: \[ 2 \pi (10^3) (1.5) (300) = 6.2832 \times 1000 \times 1.5 \times 300 \] \[ = 6.2832 \times 450000 = 2827438.4 \] 5. **Calculating the amplitude**: \[ A = \frac{30}{2827438.4} \approx 1.06 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m} \] 6. **Final expression**: To express this in a more manageable form: \[ A \approx 1.06 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m} \approx \frac{10^{-4}}{3\pi} \, \text{m} \] ### Conclusion: The corresponding maximum displacement (amplitude) for the sound wave in air is approximately: \[ A \approx \frac{10^{-4}}{3 \pi} \, \text{m} \]
