To understand the nature of a sound wave, including its properties: frequency, wavelength, loudness, pitch, and timbre. sound is a phenomenon that we experience constantly in our everyday life. therefore, it is important to understand the physical nature of a sound wave and its properties to correct common misconceptions about sound propagation. most generally, a sound wave is a longitudinal wave that propagates in a medium (i. e., air). the particles in the medium oscillate back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave. this displacement of the particles generates a sequence of compressions and rarefactions of the medium. thus, a sound wave can also be described in terms of pressure variations that travel through the medium. the pressure fluctuates at the same frequency with which the particles' positions oscillate. when the human ear perceives sound, it recognizes a series of pressure fluctuations rather than displacements of individual air particles. based on the information presented in the introduction of this problem, what is a sound wave? a. propagation of sound particles that are different from the particles that comprise the mediumb. propagation of energy that does not require a mediumc. propagation of pressure fluctuations in a mediumd. propagation of energy that passes through empty spaces between the particles that comprise the medium

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)
