JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 14. waves and sound

Assume that the displacement\((s)\) of air is proportional to the pressure difference \((\Delta p)\) created by a sound wave. Displacement\((s)\) further depends on the speed of sound \((v),\) density of air \((\rho)\) and the frequency \((f)\) If \(\Delta p \approx 10\, Pa , v  \approx 300\, m / s , p  \approx 1\, kg / m ^{3}\) and \(f \approx  1000 \,Hz\), then \(s\) will be the order of (take multiplicative constant to be \(1\) )

  1. A \(10\,mm\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{100}\, mm\)
  3. C \(1\, mm\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{10}\, mm\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{3}{100}\, mm\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta p = B k S_{0}\) \(=\rho v ^{2} \times \frac{\omega}{ v } \times S _{0}\) \(\Rightarrow S _{0}=\frac{\Delta p }{\rho v \omega}\) \(\approx \frac{10}{1 \times 300 \times 1000} m\) \(=\frac{1}{30} mm \approx \frac{3}{100} mm\)
