Physics Wave and Sound Reflection of Sound Equation of Stationary Waves MCQ (Single Correct)

The equation of a longitudinal standing wave due to superposition of the progressive waves produced by two sources of sound is s = -20 sin 10 πx sin 100 πt where s is the displacement from mean position measured in mm, x is in meters and t is in seconds. The specific gravity of the medium is 10 -3 . Density of water = 10 3 kg/m 3 . Find:

A
Wavelength, frequency and velocity of the progressive waves.
B
Bulk modulus of the medium and the pressure amplitude.
C
Minimum distance between pressure antinode and a displacement antinode.
D
Intensity at the displacement nodes.

The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.

f = = 50 Hz

k = 10 π λ = = × 100 cm = 20 cm

v = f λ = 50 × 0.2 = 10 m/s

B = ρv 2 = (10 –3 × 1000) × 10 2 = 100 N/m 2

P m = BK S o = 100 × 10π × 20 × 10 –3

= 20π N/m 2

Distance between Pressure Antinode and displacement Node is = 5 cm = .05 m

I = = = 20 π 2 w/m 2
