A bat emits a sound with a frequency of 144 kHz in a cave where the temperature is 28°C. Assume that air behaves like an ideal monatomic gas and use the fact that the speed of sound in air at 20.0°C is 343 m/s to determine the wavelength of the sound emitted by the bat.
An interface is formed between a block of aluminium (with an acoustic impedance of 1.8 x 107 kg m2 s') and a block of copper (with an acoustic impedance
of 4.6 x 107 kg m-2 s-1).
Longitudinal sound waves travelling through the aluminium are normally incident on the boundary, and are partially reflected.

The figure shows the output from a pressure monitor mounted at a point along the path taken by a sound wave of a single frequency traveling at
346 m/s through air with a uniform density of 2.11 kg/m3. The vertical axis scale is set by Aps = 4.20 mPa. If the displacement function of the
wave is written as s(x, t) = Sm cos(kx - wt), what are (a) sm, (b) k, and (c) w? The air is then cooled so that its density is 2.15 kg/m3 and the
speed of a sound wave through it is 320 m/s. The sound source again emits the sound wave at the same frequency and same pressure amplitude.
