Important Questions on Sound Waves

IMPORTANT
The displacement sound wave in a medium is given by the equation Y=Acos(ax+bt) where A, a and b are positive constants. The wave is reflected by a denser obstacle situated at x=0. The intensity of the reflected wave is 0.64 times that of the incident wave. Tick the statement among the following that is incorrect.

Consider the following statements about sound passing through a gas.

(A) The pressure of the gas at a point oscillates in time.

(B) The position of a small layer of the gas oscillates in time.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: In sound waves variation of pressure and density of gas above and below average have a maximum value at a displacement node.

Reason: When particles on the opposite side of the displacement node approach each other gas between them is compressed and pressure rises so that at a displacement node gas undergoes the maximum amount of compression.

A 5 W source sends out waves in air at frequency 1000 s-1. Deduce the intensity at a 100 m distance, assuming spherical distribution. If v=350 ms-1 and ρ=1.3 kg m-3, deduce the displacement amplitude.
