The sound from a trumpet radiates uniformly in all directions in 20°C air. At a distance of 5.00 m from the trumpet the sound intensity level is 52.0 dB. The frequency is 587 Hz. (a) What is the pressure amplitude at this distance? (b) What is the displacement amplitude? (c) At what distance is the sound intensity level 30.0 dB?

Short Answer

Expert verified

A) The pressure amplitude of the trumpet is 0.0114 Pa B) The displacement amplitude of the sound is 7.49×10-7m C) The distance at which the sound intensity level is equal to 30.0 dB is 63.0 m.

Step by step solution

01

STEP 1 The pressure amplitude of the sound

Formula is pmax=2Òϳձôwhere, pmax is the pressure amplitude of the sound. p is the density of the air, vis the speed of the sound in air, l is the intensity of the sound.

The displacement amplitude of the sound is given as A=pmaxvB2Ï€´Úwhere, A is the displacement amplitude. pmaxis the pressure amplitude, B is the bulk modulus of the air, f is the frequency of the sound, v is the speed of the sound in air.

02

Calculate the intensity of the sound

The pressure amplitude of the sound is given aspmax=2Òϱ¹±ô and the intensity of the level of sound isβ=10dBlogll0 where,β is the intensity level of the sound. I is is the intensity of the sound,l0is the intensity of the reference sound.

Substitute 52.0 dB for β, 1×10-12W/m2forl0 in the above equation to find I.

52.0dB=10dBlogI1×10-12W/m2I1×10-12W/m2=1052l=1.585×10-7W/m2

Thus, the intensity of the sound at that point is1.585×10-7W/m2

Substitute the values inpmax=2Òϱ¹±ô

pmax=21.20kg/m3344m/s1.585×10-7W/m2=1.14×10-2Pa=0.0114Pa

Therefore, the pressure amplitude of the trumpet is 0.0114 Pa

03

Calculate the displacement amplitude of the sound

The sound from the trumpet radiates uniformly in all directions, the sound intensity level of the trumpet at a distance of 5.0 m is 52.0 dB, the frequency of the sound is 587 Hz, the speed of the sound in air is 344m/s and the pressure amplitude of the sound is1.14×10-2Pa

Substitute the values in the equationA=pmaxvB2Ï€´Ú

A=1.14×10-2Pa344m/s1.42×102Pa2π587Hz=0.0749×10-7m=7.49×10-7m

Therefore, the displacement amplitude of the sound is7.49×10-7m

04

Calculate the distance at which the sound intensity level is equal to 30.0 dB

The sound from the trumpet radiates uniformly in all directions, the sound intensity level of the trumpet at a distance of 5.0 m is 52.0 dB, the frequency of the sound is 587 Hz, the speed of the sound in air is 344 m/s, the pressure amplitude of the sound is 1.14×10-2Paand the intensity of the sound at 5.0 m is 1.585×10-7W/m2The distance at which the intensity level of the sound is equal to 30.0 dB by applying

inverse square rule isr1r2=l2l1 and the intensity level of sound isβ=10logl1l0

Substitute the values in the above equation

30.0dB=10dBlogl1×10-12W/m2l1×10-12W/m2=1030l=1×10-9W/m2

Therefore, the intensity at distancer1 is1×10-9W/m2

Substitute the values in the equation r1r2=l2l1 to findr1

r15.0m=1.585×10-7W/m21×10-9W/m2=62.9m=63.0m

Therefore, the distance at which the sound intensity level is equal to 30.0 dB is 63.0 m.
