Seiche
A seiche is an oscillating standing wave in a body of water. The term seiche pronounced saysh) can be understood by the sloshing of water back and forth in a swimming pool. The same phenomenon happens on a much larger scale in vast bodies of water including bays and lakes. A seizure can happen in any enclosed or semi-enclosed body of water.
Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Educational Transcription: Sound Intensity and Distance**
The sound of normal breathing is relatively quiet with an intensity of about 11 dB at a distance of 1 meter from the breather's face. In this problem, sound intensity in decibels is denoted as \( \beta \), while intensity in \( \text{W/m}^2 \) is denoted as \( I \).
**Task:**
1. Express the detection distance \( D_{\text{detect}} \) in meters.
- **Given Solution**: \( D_{\text{detect}} = 3.16 \) m
- This answer is correct.
**Part B:**
In general, if a sound has an intensity of \( \beta \) dB at 1 meter from the source, determine the distance \( d_0 \) from the source where the decibel level decreases to 0 dB. Since the threshold of hearing is 0 dB, reaching this level means the sound is no longer audible.
**Instructions:**
- Express the distance in terms of \( \beta \). Pay close attention to your signs!
- **Input Field**: \( d_0 = 3.55 \) m
- **Submit Button** to submit the answer.
- **Feedback**: This attempt is incorrect. There are 5 attempts remaining.
