Problem

A pulse travelling through muscle, Z1=1.70 MRaylZ_1 = 1.70\,\mathrm{MRayl}, meets the surface of a bone, Z2=7.8 MRaylZ_2 = 7.8\,\mathrm{MRayl}, square on. ((a)) Find the pressure amplitude reflection coefficient rpr_{\rm p}. ((b)) What fraction of the intensity is reflected? ((c)) What fraction of the intensity carries on into the bone?
