suppose intensity of individual wave is I1 and I2 respectively for 50 dB and 70dB.
As the frequency is same, path difference is zero, the net intensity is
Now. the formula of sound level is [where Io is reference intensity which is a constant = .
For, I1 sound level is 50 dB :
for I2 sound level is 70 dB :
when both is turned on :
sound level is = [answer]
You stand 5 meters away from two machines. One machine operates at a sound intensity level...
You measure the sound intensity level as 70.5 dB at a location that is 4.31 m from a localized sound source. How far away from the source must you be for the intensity level to fall to 60.5 dB?
A mosquito located two meters away produces a sound intensity of 85 dB. How much would the intensity be if there were 200 mosquitoes at the same distance? You can assume that the sound is equally distributed in all directions.
Two people hear a tornado siren, but one listener is 44.1 times farther away from the source of the sound than the other. What is the intensity level (in dB) at the farther listener relative to the other listener?
Your friend is belching the alphabet. Where you are standing, a distance of 2 meters from your friend, the peak sound level of their belching is 68.2 dB. You would like to move far enough away from them that you won’t have to hear their belching. Assuming that the belch noises approximate spherical waves, how far should you stand from your friend in order for the peak intensity of the sound to be the threshold of hearing, 10^−12 W/m2?
5. A sound source has an intensity I1 and when its sound level is measured at a fixed distance the found value is 70 dB. The source increases its intensity to I2 and when its sound level is measured at the same distance the found value is 96 dB. What is the I2 / I1 ratio?
5. By how many decibels do you reduce the sound intensity level due to a source of sound if you double your distance from it? Assume that the waves expand spherically. dB 6. The sound in a classroom is 63000 times as intense as the minimum threshold of hearing. What is the intensity level of this sound in decibels? dB
Problem 4 (6 pts) A tire explodes 200m from you. You measure the sound intensity at 4.00×10-2 W/m2 for 0.1s. a) What is the total amount of energy transferred away from the explosion by sound? b) What sound level (in decibels) do you hear?
Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A noisy grinding machine in a factory produces a sound intensity of 1.97 x 10-3 W/m². (a) Calculate the decibel level of this machine. dB (b) Calculate the new decibel level when a second, identical machine is added to the factor (c) A certain number of additional such machines are put into operation alongside these two. When all the machines are running at the same time the decibel level...

You are 5 meters away from the stage at a concert. The artist on stage is inserting music into your ear at 120 dB. Assuming the sound radiates equally in al directions, how far must you move to reduce the level to 60 dB? Please explain answer and use basic physics.
