Show that, for a plane acoustic wave, the acoustic intensity may be written as in the standard notation.
Derive the general spherically-symmetric solution of the wave equation. Use it to find the velocity potential for waves radiated into an unbounded fluid by a pulsating sphere of radius
By considering the far field, or otherwise, find the time-average rate at which energy is radiated by the sphere.
You may assume that .]
