Approximately a third of people with normal hearing have ears that continuously emit a low-intensity sound outward through the ear canal. A person with such spontaneous otoacoustic emission is rarely aware of the sound, except perhaps in a noise-free environment, but occasionally the emission is loud enough to be heard by someone else nearby. In one observation, the sound wave had a frequency of 1200 Hz and a pressure amplitude of 2.50 xx 10^(-3) Pa. What were (a) the displacement amplitude and (b) the intensity of the wave emitted by the ear?
