JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 5th September Morning Slot - No. 10)

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 ~ 10 Pa, v ~ 300 m/s, $$\rho $$ ~ 1 kg/m3 and f ~ 1000 Hz, then s will be of the order of (take the multiplicative constant to be 1) :
1 mm
$${3 \over {100}}$$ mm
10 mm
$${1 \over {10}}$$ mm

Explanation

Given, S $$ \propto $$ $$\Delta $$p

and Proportionally constant = 1

We know,

$$\Delta $$p = S$$\beta $$k

= $$\rho $$v2 $$ \times $$ $${\omega \over v} \times S$$

= $${\rho v\omega S}$$

$$ \therefore $$ S = $${{\Delta p} \over {\rho v\omega }}$$

= $${{\Delta p} \over {\rho v2\pi f}}$$

= $${{\Delta p} \over {\rho vf}}$$

[As Proportionally constant = 1 so assume 2$$\pi $$ = 1]

$$ = {{10} \over {1 \times 300 \times 1000}}$$

$$ = {1 \over {30}}mm$$

$$ \approx {3 \over {100}}mm$$
