Question: a ) A longitudinal wave propagating through a tube filled with water has an intensity of 3 . 0 0 times 1 0 6

a) A longitudinal wave propagating through a tube filled with water has an intensity of 3.00\times 106W/m23.00\times 106 W/m 2 and a frequency of 3400 Hz. Calculate the amplitude A and the wavelength for this wave. The density of water is 1000kg/m31000kg/m 3 and its bulk modulus is 2.18\times 109Pa2.18\times 109 Pa.b) If the tube is filled with air at a pressure of 1.00\times 105Pa1.00\times 105 Pa and a density of 1.20kg/m31.20kg/m 3, what amplitude A and wavelength will a longitudinal wave have with the same intensity and frequency as in part (a)?c) In which fluid is the amplitude greater, in water or air? Calculate the ratio between the two amplitudes. Why is it not equal to 1.00?
