Male rana catesbeiana bullfrogs are known for their loud mating call. the call is emitted not by the frog's mouth but by its eardrums, which lie on the surface of the head. and, surprisingly, the sound has nothing to do with the frog's inflated throat. if the emitted sound has a frequency of 262 hz and a sound level of 84 db (near the eardrum), what is the amplitude of the eardrum's oscillation? the air density is 1.21 kg/m3 and the speed of sound is 346 m/s.

The amplitude of the eardrum's oscillation is 6.65×10^-13 m.

Explanation:

Given data:

The sound has a frequency of 262 Hz

The sound level is 84 dB

The air density is 1.21 kg/m^3

The speed of sound is 346 m/s

Solution:

As, Intensity of sound is given by,

I = Io×10^(s/10 db)

I = 2×π^2×ρ×v×f^2×Sm^2

Thus,

Sm = √(Io×10^(s/10 db)) / √( 2×π^2×ρ×v×f^2)

Now, put the values,

Sm = √( 10^-12 × 10^(84/10) ) / √( 2×(3.14)^2×1.21×346×(262)^2 )

Sm = √(2.51×10^-4 / 5.66×10^8)

Sm = √0.443×10^-12

Sm = 6.65×10^-13 m.

both the fifth and fourteenth amendments of the united states contain a due process clause. while the fifth amendment describes a legal obligation of the federal government to not deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, the fourteenth amendment applies the same obligation to the states to guarantee that all of the states provide fair procedures as well.
