Assuming that the wave speed varies little when sound waves are traveling through a material that suddenly changes density by 10%, what percentage of the incident wave intensity is reflected?
Homework Answers
The percentage of the incident sound wave intensity reflected, PR, is given by
where sound wave is traveling in a material of density 
and strikes a material of density 
.
for instance if we consider
= 100 and material that suddenly changes density by 10%
= 110
The percentage of the incident wave intensity is reflected is <1% (less than one percentage).

Find the intensity of reflected and transmitted waves through an interface between two linear non-conducting media in terms of the intensity of the incident wave and the indices of refraction of the two media. Note: To do this, suppose a plane wave of frequency ω and electric field polarization in the x direction is traveling in the positive z direction. The wave approaches the interface between two media on the xy plane from left. Write complex waves equations for the...

3. Two sound waves, A and B, are traveling side-by-side at the same speed but with different polarities. Sound Wave A's wavelength is three times longer than Sound Wave B's wavelength. How does the period of Sound Wave A's oscillators compare to Sound Wave B's oscillators? For example, is A's oscillators' period half, double, ten times, etc., the period of B's oscillators? Explain your answer. (4 points)

When an earthquake occurs, two types of sound waves are generated and travel through the earth. The primary, or P, wave has a speed of about 8.0 km/s and the secondary, or S, wave has a speed of about 4.5 km/s. A seismograph, located some distance away, records the arrival of the P wave and then, 117 s later, records the arrival of the S wave. Assuming that the waves travel in a straight line, how far (in terms of...
