As we said, sound waves can be modeled with sine waves. The standard musical pitch is the
A440 which means that the musical note A4 has a frequency of 440 Hz. So this note oscillates
once every seconds and it could be modeled using the curve y = sin(440- 2nt) = sin(880nt).
For each of the following musical notes, what would w be if we wanted to model the sound
wave with y = sin(wt)?

Find the range of wavelengths emitted by the bat in meters, by using that the speed of sound is c=343m/sec and the range of frequencies from 70 to 30KHz. The solution matches the range of sizes for an insect. What is the order of magnitude for this range? Take this order and call it L for the average size of an insect.
b) If the bat produces a power of P = 10^-5 watts and its hearing threshold is 10^-12 watts/m^2 what is the maximum distance from which the bat can detect an echo?
Your experiments on a particular insulator indicate that a 20 C the average speed of sound in the insulator is Vi = 7250 m/s Its bulk modulus is Bi = 450 GPa. Experimental results from your colleague show that a certain metal alloy has a density of rom = 7500 kg/m3 and a bulk modulus of Bm = 180 Gpa. The density of the insulator roi = 8561 kg/m3. The speed of sound in the metal alloy is Vm = 4898 m/s . A) Find the total amount of time t in seconds, It takes to travel through the structure in fig 1 the length of the structure is L = 1.0 m
