A 25 MW jet engine produces a sound level of 120 dB, the threshold of pain, at 100 m from the engine. (Recall that the threshold of human hearing is 1 x 10-12 W/m2.)
(a) What portion of the jet engine power is lost in producing this sound?
(b) You are at your quiet summer house (ambient sound level is 40 dB) and you can just hear the sound of the same jet engine at the airport. How far away is your summer house from the airport?
(c) Is the result of your simple calculation reasonable?
(d) What is missing in your assumptions?

A jet produces a sound level of approximately 140 dB at a distance of 10. m. Assuming that your ear has an effective radius of about 2.8 cm, what is the total power received by your ear? P Number Units
Using a frequency-measuring lab device, I am to map out the sound intensity level distribution (dB) in a room (both with & without music playing) to create a 5x5 grid of 25 data points. Using the following data table of sound intensity level β(dB) and corresponding intensity I(W/m2), I also need to find the intensity to the nearest order of magnitude for the points on my sound intensity level maps. Here is the data table: Intensity levelβ(dB) Intensity I(W/m2) Example/effect...
