The frequency of the sound emitted by a ...

The frequency of the sound emitted by a musical instrument is 512Hz. The instrument emits plane wave of amplitude `10^(-4)m`. Calculate the energy flux, if the speed of sound in air in 332 m/s and the density of air is `1.29kg//m^3`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the energy flux (intensity) of the sound emitted by the musical instrument using the formula: \[ I = 2 \pi^2 f^2 A^2 \rho v \] where: - \( I \) is the energy flux (intensity), ...
