The correct Answer is:
To find the velocity of the wave, we can use the information provided in the question and apply the relevant formulas for wave motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information**: - Angular frequency, \(\omega = 1000 \, \text{rad/s}\) - Density of the medium, \(d = 1 \, \text{kg/m}^3\) - Intensity of the wave, \(I = 10^{-10} \, \text{W/m}^2\) - Maximum pressure change, \(\Delta P_m = 2 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{N/m}^2\) 2. **Relating Intensity to Wave Properties**: The intensity \(I\) of a wave can be expressed in terms of the displacement amplitude \(A\), angular frequency \(\omega\), and density \(d\) as: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} d v A^2 \] where \(v\) is the velocity of the wave. 3. **Using the Maximum Pressure Change**: The maximum pressure change in a longitudinal wave is given by: \[ \Delta P_m = d v A \omega \] Rearranging this gives: \[ A = \frac{\Delta P_m}{d v \omega} \] 4. **Substituting \(A\) into the Intensity Equation**: We can substitute the expression for \(A\) into the intensity equation: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} d v \left(\frac{\Delta P_m}{d v \omega}\right)^2 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta P_m^2}{d v \omega^2} \] 5. **Solving for Velocity \(v\)**: Rearranging the above equation to solve for \(v\): \[ v = \frac{\Delta P_m^2}{2 I d \omega^2} \] Plugging in the known values: - \(\Delta P_m = 2 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{N/m}^2\) - \(I = 10^{-10} \, \text{W/m}^2\) - \(d = 1 \, \text{kg/m}^3\) - \(\omega = 1000 \, \text{rad/s}\) \[ v = \frac{(2 \times 10^{-4})^2}{2 \times 10^{-10} \times 1 \times (1000)^2} \] 6. **Calculating \(v\)**: \[ v = \frac{4 \times 10^{-8}}{2 \times 10^{-10} \times 1 \times 10^6} = \frac{4 \times 10^{-8}}{2 \times 10^{-4}} = 200 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer: The velocity of the wave is \(v = 200 \, \text{m/s}\).
