The correct Answer is:
To find the amplitude of the vibration of air particles corresponding to the given intensity of sound, we can use the formula for intensity: \[ I = 2 \pi^2 n^2 a^2 \rho v \] where: - \( I \) = intensity of sound (in \( W/m^2 \)) - \( n \) = frequency of sound (in Hz) - \( a \) = amplitude of vibration (in m) - \( \rho \) = density of air (in \( kg/m^3 \)) - \( v \) = velocity of sound (in m/s) ### Step 1: Write down the given values - Intensity \( I = 10^{-12} \, W/m^2 \) - Density of air \( \rho = 1.293 \, kg/m^3 \) - Frequency \( n = 1000 \, Hz \) - Velocity of sound \( v = 332 \, m/s \) ### Step 2: Rearrange the formula to solve for amplitude \( a \) From the intensity formula, we can solve for \( a^2 \): \[ a^2 = \frac{I}{2 \pi^2 n^2 \rho v} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the known values into the equation Substituting the values into the rearranged formula: \[ a^2 = \frac{10^{-12}}{2 \pi^2 (1000)^2 (1.293) (332)} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the denominator Calculating \( 2 \pi^2 (1000)^2 (1.293) (332) \): 1. Calculate \( \pi^2 \): \[ \pi^2 \approx 9.87 \] 2. Calculate \( 2 \pi^2 \): \[ 2 \pi^2 \approx 19.74 \] 3. Calculate \( (1000)^2 \): \[ (1000)^2 = 1000000 \] 4. Now calculate the entire denominator: \[ 19.74 \times 1000000 \times 1.293 \times 332 \] Calculating step by step: - \( 19.74 \times 1000000 = 19740000 \) - \( 19740000 \times 1.293 \approx 25500000 \) - \( 25500000 \times 332 \approx 8466000000 \) ### Step 5: Substitute back into the equation for \( a^2 \) Now we have: \[ a^2 = \frac{10^{-12}}{8466000000} \] ### Step 6: Calculate \( a^2 \) Calculating \( a^2 \): \[ a^2 \approx 1.179 \times 10^{-21} \] ### Step 7: Take the square root to find \( a \) Now, take the square root to find \( a \): \[ a \approx \sqrt{1.179 \times 10^{-21}} \approx 1.077 \times 10^{-11} \, m \] ### Final Answer Thus, the corresponding amplitude of the vibration of the air particles is approximately: \[ a \approx 1.077 \times 10^{-11} \, m \] ---

To find the amplitude of the vibration of air particles corresponding to the given intensity of sound, we can use the formula for intensity: \[ I = 2 \pi^2 n^2 a^2 \rho v \] where: - \( I \) = intensity of sound (in \( W/m^2 \)) - \( n \) = frequency of sound (in Hz) - \( a \) = amplitude of vibration (in m) ...
