Answer:
I₂ = 0.04 W / m²
Explanation:
Sound intensity is the power emitted between the unit area
I = W / A
W = I A
sound is a wave that travels in space whereby its energy is distributed on the surface of a sphere
A = 4π r²
we substitute
W = I (4π r²)
the emission power is constant, so the intensity at two different points is
W = I₁ 4π r₁² = I₂ 4π r₂²
so the equation is
I₁ r₁² = I₂ r₂²
In this case the units are not shown in the exercise, suppose that all units are in the SI system
I₂ =
let's calculate
I₂ = 4
I₂ = 0.04 W / m²
