The factor of 10-12 in the range of intensities to which the ear can respond, from threshold to that causing damage after brief exposure, is truly remarkable. If you could measure distances over the same range with a single instrument and the smallest distance you could measure was 1 mm, what would the largest be?
Q4, IT IS NOT 59 cm ........it is 50 cm
Sound intensity, B. in decibels (d B) is defined as B = 10 log(), where I is the intensity of the sound measured in watts per square metre (") and Io is 10-12 W, the threshold of hearing. Tracey decided that she needed a new vehicle, as her old one was beginning to run poorly and make extremely loud noises while the engine ran. When she got her new vehicle, she measured the relative sound intensities of the vehicles running and found that her old vehicle was 23 times as intense as the sound of her new vehicle. If the decibel level of her new car is 79 d B, what is the decibel level of the old car? Show your full solution method on your work sheet. In the answer field, express your answer to the nearest decibel. Answer:
What is the speed of sound in substance X if a note produced at 440Hz has a wavelength of 14.8 m?
With a sensitive sound-level meter, you measure the sound of a running spider as 210dB. What does the negative sign imply? (a) The spider is moving away from you. (b)The frequency of the sound is too low to be audible to humans. (c) The intensity ofthe sound is too faint to be audible to humans. (d) You have made a mistake; negativesigns do not fit with logarithms.

A screwdriver is dropped from the top of an elevator shaft. Exactly 5.0 seconds later, the sound of the screwdriver hitting bottom is heard. How deep is the shaft? The shaft is approximately (Round to the nearest tenth.) feet deep. Hint: The distance that a dropped object falls in t seconds is represented by the formula s = 16t². The speed of sound is 1100 ft/sec.
