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 .
