A point sound source is situated in a medium of bulk modulus 1.6×105 N m-2. An observer standing at a distance 10 m from the source writes down the equation for the wave as y=Asin(15πx-6000πt). Here, y and x are in metres and t is in second. The maximum pressure amplitude received to the observer's ear is 24π Pa, then find the power of the sound source.
