By what factor must the sound intensity be increased to increase the sound intensity level by 12.5 db ?

1 answer:

8 0

The sound has a unit of measurement. In physics, there are two measurements: in intensity (Watts per square meterI or in decibels. The most common unit of measurement is in decibels or dB. In fact, the threshold of hearing when it comes to measuring noise is in terms of decibels.

To convert decibels to intensity in W/^2, the equation is

dB = 10log(I/I0), where I0 is equal to 10^-16. It is an empirical constant for the standard reference intensity. Therefore,

12.5 = 10 log (I/10^-16)
I = 1.78 × 10^-15 W/m^2

Suppose that, from measurements in a microscope, you determine that a certain bacterium covers an area of 1.50 μm2. Convert this

Paladinen [302]

1 m = 1 000 000 ym

converted other way we can say that:

1 ym = $10^{-6}$ m

Now, since we have ym^2 which is ym*ym which means:
1 ym^2 = $(10^{-6}) ^2 = 10^{-12}$ m

we have 1,5 ym^2 which means that answer is:
$1.5* 10^{-12} m$

Find the current passing through a circuit consisting of a battery and one resistor. The resistance has a retance of 2ohms and t

Bingel [31]

The current passing through a circuit consisting of a battery of 12 V and resistor of 2 ohms is 6 Ampere .

Explanation:

Assume the wires are ideal with zero resistance.

The current passing through the circuit will be

I = V/R = 12/2 = 6.000 A.

Two sound waves have equal displacement amplitudes, but wave 1 has two-thirds the frequency of wave 2. What is the ratio of the

zlopas [31]

Answer:

$\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}$

Explanation:

c = Speed of wave

$\rho$ = Density of medium

A = Area

$\nu$ = Frequency

$\nu_1=\dfrac{2}{3}\nu_2$

Intensity of sound is given by

$I=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho c(A\omega)^2\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho c(A2\pi \nu)^2$

So,

$I\propto \nu^2$

We get

$\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{\nu_1^2}{\nu_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}^2\nu_2^2}{\nu_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}$

The ratio is $\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}$

A simple pendulum consists of a mass M attached to a string oflength L andnegligible mass. For this system, when undergoing smal

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The frequency of the pendulum is independent of the mass on the end. (c)

This means that it doesn't matter if you hang a piece of spaghetti or a school bus from the bottom end. If there is no air resistance, and no friction at the top end, and the string has no mass, then the time it takes the pendulum to swing from one side to the other only depends on the length of the string.
