The source of a sound wave has a power of 1.00渭奥. If it is a point source, (a) what is the intensity3.00maway and (b) what is the sound level in decibels at that distance?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The intensity 3.00maway is 8.84109W/m2.
  2. The sound level in decibels at that distance is 39.5dB.

Step by step solution

01

Given

  • Power of the source,

P=1.00渭奥=1106W

  • Radius,r=3.00m
  • I0=1.001012W/m2.
02

Determining the concept

The source of sound, with power, can emit sound with some intensity. This intensity can be calculated using the formula, I=P/A. Let that source be centered at the sphere having area A. Also, this emitted sound has its sound level.Sound level is the ratio of10logrole="math" localid="1661403876712" (I1/I0),(whereI0is the reference intensity having value,I0=1.00脳10-12W/m2.

The expression for the power is given by,

P=IA

HereI is the intensity andA is the area.

03

(a) Determine the intensity 3.00 m away

To find the intensity of the source,

I=PA

Substitute 4蟺谤2for Ainto the above equation,

I=P4蟺谤2

Substitute1106WforPand3mforrinto the above equation,

I=11064(3.14)(3)2=8.84109W/m2

Hence, the intensity 3.00m away is 8.84109W/m2.

04

(b) Determine the sound level in decibels at that distance

To find the sound level,

=10logII0

Substitute 8.84109W/m2for role="math" localid="1661404350240" land 1.001012W/m2for I0into the above equation,

=10log8.841091.001012=39.5dB

Hence, the sound level in decibels at that distance is 39.5dB.

Party hearing. As the number of people at a party increases, you must raise your voice for a listener to hear you against the background noise of the other partygoers. However, once you reach the level of yelling, the only way you can be heard is if you move closer to your listener, into the listener鈥檚 鈥減ersonal space.鈥 Model the situation by replacing you with an isotropic point source of fixed power P and replacing your listener with a point that absorbs part of your sound waves. These points are initially separated byri=1.20鈥尘 . If the background noise increases by螖尾=5dB , the sound level at your listener must also increase. What separationrf is then required?

Question: A man strike one end of a thin rod with a hammer. The speed of sound in the rod is 15times the speed of sound in the air. A woman, at the other end with her ear close to the rod, hears the sound of the blow twice with a 0.12 sinterval between; one sound comes through the rod and the other comes through the air alongside the rod. If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/swhat is the length of the rod?
