A sound wave has a frequency of 632 Hz in air and a wavelength of 0.51 m. What is the temperature of the air? Assume the velocity of sound at 0°C is 331 m/s. Answer in units of °C.
A bat emits a sound whose frequency is 81.8 kHz. The speed of sound in air at 20.0 oC is 343 m/s. However, the air temperature is 41.8 oC, so the speed of sound is not 343 m/s. Assume that air behaves like an ideal gas, and find the wavelength of the sound.
Find the pressure amplitude (in Pa) of a 1.40 kHz sound wave in air, given that the displacement amplitude is 2.30 x 10-8 m.
[Note: The equilibrium density of air is p
pressure, 1.013 × 105 Pa.]

Use the relationship between s
max
and ΔΡ
1.20 kg/m³ and the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m/s. Pressure variations AP are measured relative to atmospheric
max'
You will need to convert frequency to angular frequency. Don't forget to convert units as needed. Pa
