An audio engineer takes decibel readings at a distance of r1= 11m and r2= 23m from a concert stage speaker during a soundcheck. When he is r1 from the speaker, the engineer registers a decibel level of b(beta)1= 101 dB on his loudness meter. a) what is the intensity of the sound, I1, in watts per square meter, that is measured by the loudness meter when the engineer is a distance of r1 from the speaker? b) how much power P, in watts, is coming from the speaker during the soundcheck at a distance r1? c) assuming that the speaker output does not change between the town measurements at r1 and r2, what sound intensity level b(beta)2, in decibels, will the loudness meter report when the engineer is at a distance r2 from the speaker?
Two atmospheric sound sources A and B emit isotropically at constant power. The sound levels B of their emissions are plotted in the figure versus the radial distance r from the sources. The vertical-axis scale is set by B1 = 84.0 dB and B2 = 60.0 dB. What are (a) the ratio of the larger power to the smaller power and (b) the difference in their sound levels at r = 9.10 m? B1 A B B2 100 500 1000 r (m) (ЯР) я
Sound intensity varies inversely as the square of the distance from the sound source. If you are in a movie theater and you change your seat to one that is twice as far from the speakers, how does the new sound intensity compare to that of your original seat?
The coldest recorded temperature of air on Earth, -128.6°F, occurred on July 21, 1983, at Vostok, a Russian station in Antarctica. What is the speed of sound in air at this temperature? m/s
the sound intensity a certain distance from a sound source is 4.0x10^12 W/m^2. A change occurs in which there is a gain of 5.0 dB in the sound level. what is the sound intensity (in W/m^2) after the change occurs? express your answer as a multiple of 1.0x10^-11 W/m^2
A sound has an intensity of 5.0 x 10^-8 W/m^2. What is the intensity of another sound 10 decibel louder than the first sound?
Sound is detected when a sound wave causes the eardrum to vibrate. Typically, the diameter of the eardrum is about 8.0mm in humans. When someone yells to you in a noisy environment, the sound intensity at your ear sometimes approximates 2 x 10-6 W/m2. Suppose that the 2 x 10-6 W/m2 of sound you are hearing comes from a janitor cleaning a rug by pulling a vacuum cleaner (at the end of a 1-meter-long tube oriented perpendicularly to the line separating you from the janitor). This person is yelling just over the din of the appliance in order to be heard by you. Estimate the distance between you and the janitor
Two students hear the same sound and their eardrums receive the same power from the sound wave. The sound intensity at the eardrums of the first student is 0.93 W/m2, while at the eardrums of the second student the sound intensity is 1.16 times greater. If the diameter of the second student’s eardrum is 1.1 cm, how much acoustic power, in microwatts, is striking each of his (and the other student’s) eardrums?
A bat can detect small objects, such as an insect, whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat makes. If bats emit a chirp at a frequency of 7.69 104 Hz, and if the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, what is the smallest insect a bat can detect? ?mm
A sound source creates a sound intensity at a certain distance. If the sound intensity is increased by a factor of 8.1, by how many decibels is the sound intensity level increased?
The area of a typical eardrum is about 5.0 × 10–5m2 . Calculate the sound power (the energy per second) incident on an eardrum at (a) the threshold of hearing and (b) the threshold of pain.
THe loudness L of a sound is measured by L=10 log10^R where R is the sound's relative intensity. One person talks with a relative intensity of 10^6 or 60 decibels. How much louder would 100 people be ,talking with the same intensity.
