a sound wave is a pressure wave that propagates through the air (or other medium). This means that at some points the pressure is increased (beyond normal) and at others the pressure is decreased (beyond normal). While increases in pressure can be arbitrarily large, the pressure can only be decreased to 0 Pa. Beyond this the sound wave will be "clipped" and the sound wave will be distorted. The amplitude of the pressure distortion AP is related to the Intensity of the sound I by the relation I=AP2/(2pv) where p is the density of air (1.29 kg/m3) and v is the speed of sound 340.9 m/s. Find the maximum sound level of a sound that can propagate undistorted through the air if the outside pressure is 100.1 kPa.
