At a distance of 10鈥塳尘, a100鈥塇锄horn, assumed to be an isotropic point source, is barely audible. At what distance would it begin to cause pain?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distance where the sound intensity begins to cause pain is 1鈥塩尘.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Initial distancer2=10鈥塳尘or10000鈥尘
  2. Frequency isf=100鈥塇锄
02

Understanding the concept of sound intensity

We use the concept of sound intensity. Using the equation of sound intensity related to power and area, we can write the equations of intensities for r1andr2. We are given,r2 so by taking the ratio, we find the distancer1.

Formulae:

The intensity of a wave,

I=PA 鈥(颈)

The surface area of the sphere,

A=4蟺谤2 鈥(颈颈)

03

Calculation of the distance

We know sound waves travel spherically, so the area at which waves is focused is given using equation (ii).The power of the source is the same for any distance. Hence, using equation (i), we can write the intensity at surface of radiusr1andr2as:

I1=P4蟺谤12I2=P4蟺谤22

DividingI2byI1, we get

I2I1=P4蟺谤22P4蟺谤12I2I1=4蟺谤124蟺谤22

I2I1=r12r22 鈥(补)

We know that intensity ratio between barely audible and painful threshold is:

I2I1=1012

Substitute all the value in the equation (a).

1012=(r1)2(10000鈥尘)2r12=1012108鈥尘2=104鈥尘2r1=104鈥尘2=102鈥尘=0.01鈥尘r1=1鈥塩尘.

Hence, at 1鈥塩尘it would begin to cause pain.
