The document discusses the properties of waves. It calculates the wavelength of a sound wave traveling at 344 m/s with a frequency of 100 Hz to be 0.344 m. It then states that if the pressure increases 1000 times, the amplitude also increases 1000 times to be 1.2×10^-5 m. Finally, it calculates that if the maximum pressure increases while keeping the amplitude constant, the spring constant and phase must decrease by the same factor. For a pressure increase resulting in a wavelength of 6.9 m, the new frequency is calculated to be 50 Hz.

16.1: a) = v f = (344 m s) (100 Hz ) = 0.344 m. b) if p 1000 p0 , then A 1000 A0 Therefore, the amplitude is 1.2 10 5 m .
. c) Since pmax = BkA , increasing pmax while keeping A constant requires decreasing k, and increasing , by the same factor. Therefore the new wavelength is
