iii
For a harmonic field, the time-averaged energy densities at r=a are
⟨K⟩=4ρ0​​∣ur​∣2=4ρ0​ω2ϵ2​,
(1)
⟨W⟩=4ρ0​c02​∣p​∣2​=4ρ0​ω2ϵ2​1+x2x2​.
(2)
From part (ii),
∣⟨Ir​⟩∣=2ρ0​ω2ϵ2c0​​1+x2x2​.
(3)
Consequently
∣⟨Ir​⟩∣c0​⟨K+W⟩​=2x21+2x2​=1+2ω2a2c02​​​.
(4)
This is the surface acoustic energy-to-flux ratio of a pulsating sphere.
