    This document is the mid-semester examination for an audio system engineering course. It contains two parts - Part A with 5 multiple choice questions related to sound intensity, displacement, decibel conversions, and binaural hearing. Part B contains 4 longer form questions related to mechanical oscillation, acoustic impedance, oblique wave propagation between two fluids, and sound refraction and transmission between air and xenon gas. The exam tests students' understanding of fundamental acoustic concepts through calculations involving wave properties, material properties, and signal processing parameters.

    MID Semester Examination 2018 (Spring)
    Subject: Audio System Engineering Code: ET60006
    Time: 2:00 Hours Full Marks [5x2+4x10] = 50
    Answer all the questions
    PART-A
    1. An earth quake wave was traveling through the earth and the intensity detected 200 Km from source
    was 8.0x 106 W/m2. What is the intensity [in dB] of the earth quake wave at a distance 600 km from
    the source?
    2. The human leg has a measured natural frequency of around 20 Hz when in its rigid (knee locked)
    position, in the longitudinal direction (i.e., along the length of the bone) assuming no damping. What
    will be the maximum displacement of the leg? At t=0 the initial speed u0=0.06 m/s and displacement
    x0=0.
    3. Suppose an electric fan produces sound of intensity 30 dB. How many times more intense is the sound
    of a conversation if it produces an intensity of 60 dB?
    4. An acoustic signal is reflected from a surface and 80% is absorbs. The reflected signal will drop by how
    many dB.
    5. In case of sound perception why we need two ear?

    PART-B
    1. A mechanical oscillator with mass 0.5kg, stiffness 100N/m and mechanical resistance 1.4kg/s is driven
    by a sinusoidal force of amplitude 2N.
    a) Find out the driving force frequency for which phase angle between displacement and speed is π/3.
    b) Find out the maximum displacement at that phase angle.

    2. a) Given a small source of spherical wave in air at a radial distance of 100 cm, compute the absolute
    magnitude of the specific acoustic impedance for 500Hz frequency at this location. Then density of air
    ρ0=1.21 kg/m3 and velocity of sound in air c = 340m/s.
    (b) Show that the specific acoustic reactance of a spherical wave is maximum for kr=1. Where r is the
    radial distance and k is the propagation constant.

    3. A pressure wave is obliquely incident on the boundary of two fluids (1 and 2). The speed of the wave in
    fluid 1 and 2 are c1 and c2 respectively. If c1<c2 and i> c show that the transmitted wave propagate in y
    direction, parallel to the boundary and has an amplitude that decays perpendicular to the boundary.
    Where i is the angle of incident and c is the critical angle. The above wave propagation is in x-y plane.

    4. A plane wave traveling from air into Xenon gas through a thin separating membrane is refracted by 450
    from its original direction.
    (a) Calculate the angle of incident in the air
    (b) Determine the sound pressure transmission coefficient in dB.
    (Where velocity of sound in air c1= 350 m/s and density of air 1= 1.225 x10−3 g/cm3 velocity of sound
    in Xenon c2=173 m/s, and density 178 2= 5.761 kg/m3)
