Question:
(a) If two sound waves, one in air and one in (fresh) water are equal in intensity and angular frequency, what is the ratio of the pressure amplitude of the wave in water to that of the wave in air? Assume the water and the air are at 20oC. (See Table)
(b) If the pressure amplitudes are equal instead, what is the ratio of the intensities of the waves?
Step by Step Answer:
a The intensity is given by pvos where p is the density of the medium ...View the full answer

In this video, the concept of pressure has been explained. The bottle is filled up with water, remove the pipe, and now you can see the clear flow of water from the holes due to liquid pressure.You can see that the second layer is holding the weight of the first layer and the third layer holding the weight of both upper layers, that’s why liquid flows out wider from the third as compared to the first two.At the first hole, water doesn’t roll along the walls; it flows out at an angle.At the second hole, you’ll see that the water flows out at a wider angle as compared to the first hole.At the third hole, we can see that the flow of water is much wider/greater than the other holes.This proves that the pressure at the bottom of the bottle is much more than the pressure at the top layers.
