At a rock concert, the sound intensity 1.0 m in front of the bank of loudspeakers is 0.10 W/m². A fan is 30 m from the loudspeak

ers. Her eardrums have a diameter of 8.4 mm. How much sound energy is transferred to each eardrum in 1.0 second?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Area, the power and the proportionality relationships between intensity and distance.

The expression for sound power is,

P = AI

Here,

A = Area

I = Intensity

P = Power

At the same time the area can be written as,

A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}

Now the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source, then

I \propto \frac{1}{r^2}

The expression for the intensity at different distance is

\frac{I_1}{I_2}= \frac{r^2_2}{r_1^2}

Here,

I_1 = Intensity at distance 1

I_2 = Intensity at distance 2

r_1 = Distance 1 from light source

r_2 = Distance 2 from the light source

If we rearrange the expression to find the intensity at second position we have,

I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2})

If we replace with our values at this equation we have,

I_2 = (0.10W/m^2)(\frac{1.0m^2}{30.0m^2})

I_2 = 1.11*10^{-4} W/m^2

Now using the equation to find the area we have that

A = \frac{\pi (8.4*10^{-3}m)^2}{4}

A = 5.5*10^{-5}m^2

Finally with the intensity and the area we can find the sound power, which is

P = AI

P = (5.5*10^{-5}m^2)(1.11*10^{-4}W/m^2)

P = 6.1*10^{-9}J/s

Power is defined as the quantity of Energy per second, then

E = 6.1*10^{-9}J

How are crystals prepared?
Contact [7]

Answer:

The process of crystal forming is called crystallization. Crystals often form in nature when liquids cool and start to harden. Certain molecules in the liquid gather together as they attempt to become stable. In nature, crystals can form when liquid rock, called magma, cools.

Dovator [93]
John used smothering as the method to control the harmful invasive plants in his orchard. Smothering is an example of a manual method of control and it works best in a small population of invasive species. Smothering involves covering the invasive species with a barrier that is highly impenetrable for one growing season in order to prevent these species from thriving in the environment.
