Question

The faintest sound, the human ear can detect at a frequency of 1 kHz (for which ear is most sensitive) corresponds to an intensity of about 10-12w/m2. Assuming the density of air = 1.5 kg/m3 and velocity of sound in air  300 m/s, the pressure amplitude and displacement amplitude of the sound will be respectively  ___N/m2  and __ m.

Moderate
Solution

I = Pm22ρV

10-12 = Pm22(1.5)(300)

Pm = 3×10-5 Pa

Pm = BAK = (ρV2)A2π(vf)

Pm = (2πρVf)A

3×10-5 = (2π)(1.5)(300)(103)A

A = 13π×10-10 m
