Important Questions on Sound Waves


Consider the following statements about sound passing through a gas.
The pressure of the gas at a point oscillates in time.
The position of a small layer of the gas oscillates in time.

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.




Dependence of disturbances due to two waves on time is shown in the figure. The ratio of their intensities will be:-
