Answer:
<u>Part A</u>
I = 1.4 mW/m²
<u>Part B</u>
β = 91.46 dB
Explanation:
<u>Part A</u>
Sound intensity is the power per unit area of sound waves in a direction perpendicular to that area. Sound intensity is also called acoustic intensity.
For a spherical sound wave, the sound intensity is given by;
Where;
P is the source of power in watts (W)
I is the intensity of the sound in watt per square meter (W/m2)
r is the distance r away
Given:
P = 34 W,
A = 1.0 cm²
r = 44 m
The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is calculated to be;
I = 0.0013975 W/m²
≈ I = 0.0014 W/m² = 1.4 × 10⁻³ W/m²
I = 1.4 mW/m²
The sound intensity at the position of the microphone is 1.4 mW/m².
<u>Part B</u>
Sound intensity level or acoustic intensity level is the level of the intensity of a sound relative to a reference value. It is a a logarithmic quantity. It is denoted by β and expressed in nepers, bels, or decibels.
Sound intensity level is calculated as;
β dB
Where,
β is the Sound intensity level in decibels (dB)
I is the sound intensity;
I₀ is the reference sound intensity;
By pluging-in, I₀ is 1.0 × 10⁻¹² W/m²
∴ β
β
β = 91.46 dB
The sound intensity level at the position of the microphone is 91.46 dB.
The universal law of gravitation states that:
Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.
It means that if the gravitational force is F, then if the distance is decreased by 5 times, then the new gravitation force is:
F/5² = F/25
