2. A spherical waves in air has a produce sound pressure amplitude of 100 dB (Pref =
20 Pa), at a radial distance r=1 m from the source.
(a) Plot the ratio of amplitude of the pressure P and the particle speed U as a
function of various frequencies at that distance. Where density of air
0=1.21kg/m3 and speed of sound in air c = 343m/s.
(b)Determine the radial distance where the spherical waves approximate the
behavior of plan wave within about 10%.
3. For 2 kHz plane sound wave in water incident normally on a steel plate of 1.5 cm
thickness.

(a) Calculate the transmission loss expressed in dB, through the steel plate
into water on the opposite side. The expression for intensity transmission
coefficients is as below where r1 and r2 are the characteristic acoustic
impedance of water and steel respectively (where velocity of sound in water
c1= 1450 m/s and density of water 1=1g/ cm3 velocity of sound in steel
c2=5800 m/s, 2=7.8g/cm3)
(a) Determine the frequency of the source for which steel plate does not interfere
for sound transmission
4. (a) Draw the equivalent electrical circuit for the following mechanical system and
find the mechanical impedance with its corresponding unit, where Rm=1.4 kg/s,
s1=30 N/m, m=70 kg and F=2cos 314t

(b) An earth quake wave was traveling through the earth and the intensity
detected 100 Km from source was 5.0x 106 W/m2. What is the intensity of the
earth quake wave at a distance 400 km from the source?
