Suppose a certain jet plane creates an intensity level of 124 dB at a distance of 5.01 m. What intensity level does it create on

Zolol [24]

Answer:71 dB

Explanation:

Given

sound Level $\beta _1=124 dB$

distance $r_1=5.01 m$

From sound Intensity

$\beta =10dB\log (\frac{I_1}{I_0})$

$124=10dB\log (\frac{I_1}{I_0})$

$12.4=\log (\frac{I_1}{I_0})$

$I_1=(1\times 10^{-12})\times 10^{12.4}$

$I_1=2.51 W/m^2$

we know Intensity $I\propto ^\frac{1}{r^2}$

$I_1r_1^2=I_2r_2^2$

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

$I_2=2.51\cdot (\frac{5.01}{2.25\times 10^3})^2$

$I_2=1.24\times 10^{-5} W/m^2$

Sound level corresponding to $I_2$

$\beta _2=10\log (\frac{I_2}{I_0})$

$\beta _2=10\log (\frac{1.24\times 10^{-5}}{1\times 10^{-12}})$

$\beta _2=70.93\approx 71 dB$
