Consider the following statements about sound passing through a gas.
A: | The pressure of the gas at a point oscillates in time. |
B: | The position of a small layer of the gas oscillates in time. |
1. | Both A and B are correct. |
2. | A is correct but B is wrong. |
3. | B is correct but A is wrong. |
4. | Both A and B are wrong. |
When we clap our hands, the sound produced is best described by
(Here p denotes the change in pressure from the equilibrium value)
1. p = p0 sin(kx – ωt)
2. p = p0 sin kx cos ωt
3. p = p0 cos kx sin ωt
4. p = \(\sum\)p0n sin(knx – ωnt)
