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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Distance of the other source of sound is, rf=0.67m.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

Difference in sound level: =5dB

Distance of first source of sound is, ri=1.20鈥尘

02

Determining the concept

If power is constant, then, intensity of sound is inversely proportional to the square of distance of the point from the source of sound.

I鈥夆赌鈥夆赌1r2

The difference in sound level is given as- =10logIfIi

where,I is intensity andr is radius.

03

Determining the distance of the other source of sound

Since, power is constant, so, intensity of sound will be inversely proportional to the square of distance of the point from the source of sound. Thus,

I1r2

IfIi=rirf2

So, difference in sound level will be-

=10dBlogIfIi=10logrirf2

For the given values, we have-

(5dB)=(10鈥塪叠)log1.20鈥尘rf21.20鈥尘rf2=100.51.20鈥尘rf2=3.16227rf=1.20鈥尘1.7783

On further solving-

rf=0.67鈥尘

Hence, distance of the other source of sound is,rf=0.67鈥尘 .

Question: In Fig. 17-27, pipe Ais made to oscillate in its third harmonicby a small internal sound source. Sound emitted at the right endhappens to resonate four nearby pipes, each with only one openend (they are notdrawn to scale). Pipe Boscillates in its lowestharmonic, pipe Cin its second lowest harmonic, pipe Din itsthird lowest harmonic, and pipe Ein its fourth lowest harmonic.Without computation, rank all five pipes according to theirlength, greatest first. (Hint:Draw the standing waves to scale andthen draw the pipes to scale.)

Question: A sound wave of the form s=smcos(kx-蝇迟+f)travels at 343 m/s through air in a long horizontal tube. At one constant, air molecule Aat x =2.00m is at its maximum positive displacement of 6Nm and air molecule B at x =2.070 m is at a positive displacement of 2N/m . All the molecule between A and B are at intermediate displacement. What is the frequency of the wave?

A sound source sends a sinusoidal sound wave of angular frequency 3000rad/s and amplitude 12.0mthrough a tube of air. The internal radius of the tube is2.00cm .

(a) What is the average rate at which energy (the sum of the kinetic and potential energies) is transported to the opposite end of the tube?

(b) If, simultaneously, an identical wave travels along an adjacent, identical tube, what is the total average rate at which energy is transported to the opposite ends of the two tubes by the waves? If, instead, those two waves are sent along the same tube simultaneously, what is the total average rate at which they transport energy when their phase difference is

Two identical piano wires have a fundamental frequency of 600Hzwhen kept under the same tension. What fractional increase in the tension of one wire will lead to the occurrence of 6.0beats/s when both wires oscillate simultaneously?

Question: When the door of the Chapel of the mausoleum in Hamilton, Scotland, is slammed shut, the last echo heard by someone standing just inside the door reportedly comes 15 slater. a) If that echo were due to a single reflection off a wall opposite the door, how far from the door is the wall? (b) If, instead, the wall is 25.5 maway, how many reflection (back and forth) correspond to the last echo?
