Let us consider sound (longitudinal) wave
y=A.sin(\omegat-kx)
See attachment for diagram
Consider air column of length \Deltax and cross-sectional area S at distance x from source.
I want to derive the pressure equation of the sound wave using
Bulk modulus, B=-\DeltaP/(\DeltaV/V)
implying \DeltaP=-B.\DeltaV/V
But the trouble is that I am not able to select the expression for \DeltaV
1) \DeltaV=S.y
2) \DeltaV=S\Deltay
TELL ME WHICH EXPRESSION OUT OF THE TWO SHOULD I USE with EXPLANATION.
