Problem16 03

The document discusses calculating the maximum sound pressure from an acoustic wave using the given equation pmax = 2πBAfv. It provides examples of these calculations at 150 Hz, 1500 Hz, and 15,000 Hz, noting that the pressure at 1500 Hz exceeds the pain threshold, and at 15,000 Hz the sound would be unbearable.
