What is the ratio of the pressure amplitude of the wave

Reference no: EM13551780

(a) If two sound waves, one in air and one in (fresh) water are equal in intensity, what is the ratio of the pressure amplitude of the wave in water to that of the wave in air? Assume the water and the air are at 20°C.

(b) If the pressure amplitudes are equal instead, what is the ratio of the intensities of the waves?
