What is the intensity of a sound with a measured intensity level of 84 db? (i0 = 10-12 w/m2)?

1 answer:

7 0

The unit measurement for sound can be expressed in terms of intensity and in decibels. The intensity of sound is the measure of its power over unit area. The common unit of measurement is in decibels. This is commonly used in measuring the extent of noise. The conversion from intensity to the decibel unit is through logarithmic function. The formula is:

dB = 10 log(I/I0), where I0 is 10^-12 Watts per square meter

Substituting the values to the equation,

84 = 10log(I/10^-12)
I = 0.0002512 W/m2

In scientific notation the intensity is 2.512 x 10^-4 W/m^2.

Nuclear fusion because atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. Option A is correct.

<h3>What is nuclear fusion?</h3>

The process by which two or more tiny nuclei unite to generate a bigger nucleus is known as a nuclear fusion reaction.

The more energy it takes to liberate an electron from a smaller atom. This is referred to as binding energy.

As a result, when two little nuclei fuse together, there is more binding energy than when two big nuclei fuse together.

For example, the fusion of two hydrogen atoms produces more energy than the fusion of one helium atom, and surplus energy is expelled into space upon binding.

Nuclear fusion because atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus.

Hence, option A is correct.
