The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Amplitude (A) = \(10^{-3} \, \text{m}\) - Frequency (f) = \(600 \, \text{Hz}\) - Speed of sound (v) = \(340 \, \text{m/s}\) - Density of air (\(\rho\)) = \(1.29 \, \text{kg/m}^3\) ### Step 2: Calculate angular frequency (\(\omega\)) The angular frequency is given by the formula: \[ \omega = 2\pi f \] Substituting the frequency: \[ \omega = 2 \times \pi \times 600 \approx 3769.91 \, \text{rad/s} \] ### Step 3: Calculate energy per unit volume (sound density) The energy per unit volume (E) is given by the formula: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} \rho A^2 \omega^2 \] Substituting the known values: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.29 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \times (10^{-3} \, \text{m})^2 \times (3769.91 \, \text{rad/s})^2 \] Calculating: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.29 \times 10^{-6} \times 142,00000 \approx 9.1575 \, \text{J/m}^3 \] ### Step 4: Calculate intensity of sound The intensity (I) of sound is given by the formula: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} \rho v A^2 \omega^2 \] Substituting the known values: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.29 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \times 340 \, \text{m/s} \times (10^{-3} \, \text{m})^2 \times (3769.91 \, \text{rad/s})^2 \] Calculating: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.29 \times 340 \times 10^{-6} \times 142,00000 \approx 3116.74 \, \text{W/m}^2 \] ### Final Answers 1. Energy per unit volume = \(9.1575 \, \text{J/m}^3\) 2. Intensity of sound = \(3116.74 \, \text{W/m}^2\) ---
