The sound intensity is 0.0080鈥塛/m2at a distance of 10鈥尘from an isotropic point source of sound. (a) What is the power of the source? (b) What is the sound intensity from the source? (c) What is the sound level10鈥尘 from the source?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Power of source is 10鈥塛.
  2. The sound intensity 5.0 m from the source is 0.032鈥塛/m2.
  3. The sound level 10 m from the source is 99鈥塪叠.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Sound intensity, I=0.0080鈥塛/m2.
  2. Radius, r=10鈥尘.
02

Understanding the concept of power and intensity

Using the formula for power in terms of intensity we can get its value. Then, using the relation between intensity and distance, we can find the sound intensity at 5.0 m from the source. Inserting the value of intensity at 10 m in the formula for sound level, we can find its value at that distance.

Formulae:

1.Intensity,

I=P4r2 鈥(1)

2. Sound level,

=(10鈥塪叠)logII0 (2)

03

Step 3(a): Determination of power of source

Intensity of waves is

I=P4r2

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

0.0080鈥塛/m2=P43.14(10鈥尘)2P=10.048鈥塛P10鈥塛

Hence the power of source is, 10鈥塛.

04

Step 4(b): Determination of sound intensity

Using the above value of power, we can find the intensity for r=5.0鈥尘 as

I=P4r2

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

I=10鈥塛43.14(5.0鈥尘)2I=0.03187鈥塛/m2I=0.032鈥塛/m2

Hence the sound intensity is, 0.032鈥塛/m2.

05

Step 5(c): Determination of sound level

The standard reference intensity is, I0=1.01012鈥塛/m2.

We know the equation for sound level

=(10鈥塪叠)logII0

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

With I=0.0080鈥塛/m2 and I0=1.01012鈥塛/m2.

=(10鈥塪叠)log0.0080鈥塛/m21.01012鈥塛/m2=99鈥塪叠

Hence the sound level is, 99鈥塪叠.

In Fig. 6-49, arock climber is climbing a 鈥渃himney.鈥 The coefficient of static friction between her shoes and the rock is 1.2; between her back and the rock is 0.80. She has reduced her push against the rock until her back, and her shoes are on the verge of slipping.

(a) Draw a free-body diagram of her.

(b) What is the magnitude of her push against the rock?

(c) What fraction of her weight is supported by the frictional force on her shoes?

Question: A source S and a detector D of radio waves are a distancedapart on level ground (Fig. 17-52). Radio waves of wavelength reach D either along a straight path or by reflecting (bouncing) from a certain layer in the atmosphere. When the layer is at heightH, the two waves reaching D are exactly in phase. If the layer graduallyrises, the phase difference between the two waves gradually shifts, until they are exactly out of phase when the layer is at height H +h. Express in terms of d, h, and H.

Question: Two sound waves, from two different sources with the same frequency,540 Hz,travel in the same direction at330 m/s. The sources are in phase. What is the phase difference of the wave at a point that is 4.40 mfrom one sound andfrom the other?

Question: If the form of a sound wave traveling through air iss(x,t)=(6.0nm)\cos(kx+3000radst+f).How much time does any given air molecule along the path take to move between displacement s = + 2.0 nmand s = - 2.0 nm?

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 to acoustic 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 1665Hzand a pressure amplitude of1665Hz. What were (a) the displacement amplitude and (b) the intensity of the wave emitted by the ear?
