Answer

$$5.89\times10^{-9}\;m$$

Work Step by Step

Here, time period of the wave is: $T=2\;ms$ And pressure amplitude is: $\Delta p_m=8\;mPa=8\times10^{-3}\;Pa$ So the angular frequency of the wave is given by: $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{2\times10^{-3}}\;rad/s=\pi\times10^3\;rad/s$ The pressure amplitude is calculated using the formula: $\Delta p_m= (v\rho \omega)s_m$ or, $s_m=\frac{\Delta p_m}{v\rho \omega}$ substituting the given values $s_m=\frac{8\times10^{-3}}{320\times1.35\times\pi\times10^3}\;m$ or, $\boxed{s_m=5.89\times10^{-9}\;m}$
