Question

A listener is standing on a ground that is non-absorbing.
Situated at a distance from the listener are two sound sources
such that: source A has a sound power of 5 W and 15 m from
the listener and source B has a power of 15 W and 25 m from
the listener. What is the sound pressure level the listener
would hear

A typical adult ear has a surface area of 1.36 × 10-3 m2. The sound intensity during a normal conversation is about 3.78 × 10-6 W/m2 at the listener's ear. Assume that the sound strikes the surface of the ear perpendicularly. How much power is intercepted by the ear? number units
The sound level 23.8 m from a loudspeaker is 66.7 dB. What is the rate at which sound energy is produced by the loudspeaker, assuming it to be an isotropic source?
The scream of a little screaming monster reaches the near-side of a sound-insulating wall with an intensity of 95 dB. The manufacturer of the wall claims the material in the wall will reduce the sound energy by 99%. If this is true, what intensity, in decibels, of sound will be heard on the other side of the wall?
The volume control on a surround-sound amplifier is adjusted so the sound intensity level at the listening position increase from 23 to 66 dB. What is the ratio of the final sound intensity to the original sound intensity? Number i Units
A sound wave travels through air at 20 °C. The decibel level at a distance of 19.4 m from the source is measured to be 85.2 dB. What is the dB level at a position that is 7.17 m closer? Assume the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3 and that the source produces spherical wave fronts.
(a) What is the intensity (in W/m?) of a sound that has a level 3.00 dB lower than a 4.03 x 10-9 w/m? sound? W/m? (b) What is the intensity (in W/m2) of a sound that is 10.0 dB higher than a 4.03 x 10-9 W/m? sound? W/m?
A source emits sound uniformly in all directions. There are no reflections of the sound. At a distance of 12 m from the source, the intensity of the sound is 4.2 x 10-³ W/m². What is the total sound power P emitted by the source? P = Number 1 Units
Suppose that a public address system emits sound uniformly in all directions and that there are no reflections. The intensity at a location 27 m away from the sound source is 3.0 X 10-4 W/m2. What is the intensity at a spot that is 80 m away?
A sound wave radiates from a speaker in all directions. If the power of the sound source is 200 W, calculate the intensity level in dB of the sound wave 1 km from the speaker. Hint: Presume that the sound waves spread as a sphere (not a hemisphere).
By measurement you determine that sound waves are spreading out equally in all directions from a point source and that the intensity is 2.9x10-2 W/m² at a distance of 4.0 m from the source.
The sound coming from 25 W spherical speaker has a decibel level of 90 dB. How far away is the speaker?
A source of sound changes, so that it outputs half of its original power. If the distance between you and the source didn't change, by what factor does the sound intensity you experience change?
