Transverse and Longitudinal Waves
 

Transverse and Longitudinal Waves problem 10


The frequency of a sound is .

  • At what amplitude do air particles oscillate in the longitudinal direction if the volume of the sound is at the threshold of audibility?

  • What is the amplitude if the volume is on the pain threshold?

The air density is and the speed of sound in air is .
