(1) Intensity follows the law.
where r is the distance from the origin of the sound waves.
The distance of measurement is given by the pythagoras theorem :
r = 2.69 m
Intensity is given in decibel level, conversion into watts : I (db) = 10*log(I'/Io)
where I' is the intensity in Watts/m^2
and Io is the reference intensity Io = Watts/m^2
thus 85 db in Watts/m^2 is I = 0.000316 Watt/m^2
Let the intensity in the forward direction be ,
I = / r^2
= I * r^2
= 0.000316*2.69*2.69
= 0.0023 Watts/m^2
which is just the 75% of the Intensity, total intensity emmitted is
I_total = /0.75 = 0.00305 Watts/m^2 = 94.85 db.
Subwoofer Speaker Review A subwoofer is a type of speaker designed to emit low-frequency sound waves....
1 Review Constants Periodic Table 30 seconds of exposure to 115 dB sound can damage your hearing, but a much quieter 94 dB may begin to cause damage after 1 hour of continuous exposure. Part A You are going to an outdoor concert, and you'll be standing near a speaker that emits 43 W of acoustic power as a spherical wave. What minimum distance should you be from the speaker to keep the sound intensity level below 94 dB? Express...
