Figure 16.45 shows the pressure fluctuation p of a nonsinusoidal sound wave as a function of x for t = 0. The wave is traveling in the +x-direction.
(a) Graph the pressure fluctuation p as a function of t for x = 0. Show at least two cycles of oscillation.
(b) Graph the displacement y in this sound wave as a function of x at t =0. At x = 0, the displacement at t = 0 is zero. Show at least two wavelengths of the wave.
(c) Graph the displacement y as a function of t for x =0. Show at least two cycles of oscillation.
(d) Calculate the maximum velocity and the maximum acceleration of an element of the air through which this sound wave is traveling.
(e) Describe how the cone of a Loudspeaker must move as a function of time to produce the sound wave in this problem.
