Answer:

d_2=19.8m

Explanation:

The problem can be solved easily, because the relationship between intensities I_1 and I_2 at distances d_1 and d_2 respectively can be written as:

\frac{I_2}{I_1} =\frac{d_1^2}{d_2^2}

Where:

I_1=Intensity\hspace{3}1\\I_2=Intensity\hspace{3}2\\d_1=Distance\hspace{3}1\\d_2=Distance\hspace{3}2

In this case:

I_1=80dB\\I_2=40dB\\d_1=14m\\d_2=?

Solving for d_2

d_2=\sqrt{\frac{d_1^2 *I_1}{I_2} } =\sqrt{\frac{14^2*80}{40} } =\sqrt{392} =19.79898987m\approx19.8m

Answer:

1400m

Explanation:

For spherical waves we can use the following relationship between distance and intensity:

\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=\frac{r_{2}^2}{r_{1}^2}

Where I_{1} and I_{2} are the first and second intensity, in W/m^2. And r_{1} is the first distance:  r_{1}=14m , and r_{2} the distace we want to find.

Clearing the previous equation or r_{2}

r_{2}^2=\frac{I_{1}r_{1}^2}{I_{2}} \\r_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{I_{1}r_{1}^2}{I_{2}}} \\r_{2}=r_{1}\sqrt{\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}}.

This is what we will be using to find the answer, but fist we must convert the quantities 80dB and 40dB to W/m^2

We will call the quantities in dB \beta_{1} and \beta _{2}:

\beta_{1}=80dB

\beta_{2}=40dB

We will use the following to find the corresponding intensities I_{1} and I_{2}:

\beta_{1}=10log\frac{I_{1}}{I_{o}}

\beta_{2}=10log\frac{I_{2}}{I_{o}}

for both of these: I_{0}=10^{-12}W/m^2, and it is the minimum intensity that a human being perceives.

Thus, for \beta_{1}=80dB we have:

80dB=10log\frac{I_{1}}{I_{o}}

8dB=log\frac{I_{1}}{I_{o}}

And to eliminate the logarithm, we use its inverse operation, exponentiation.

10^8=10^{log\frac{I_{1}}{I_{0}} }

10^8=\frac{I_{1}}{I_{0}}

I_{0}(10^8)=I_{1}

replacing I_{0}=10^{-12}W/m^2:

10^{-12}W/m^2(10^8)=I_{1}

1x10^{-4}W/m^2=I_{1}

and similarly for I_{2}

40dB=10log\frac{I_{2}}{I_{o}}

4dB=log\frac{I_{2}}{I_{o}}

10^4=10^{log\frac{I_{2}}{I_{0}} }

10^4=\frac{I_{2}}{I_{0}}

I_{0}(10^4)=I_{2}

replacing I_{0}=10^{-12}W/m^2:

10^{-12}W/m^2(10^4)=I_{2}

1x10^{-8}W/m^2=I_{2}

Now we substitute in the equation we had found for r_{2}

r_{2}=r_{1}\sqrt{\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}}\\r_{2}=(14m)\sqrt{\frac{1x10^{-4}W/m^2}{1x10^{-8}W/m^2}}\\r_{2}=(14m)\sqrt{10000}\\ r_{2}=(14m)(100)\\r_{2}=1400m

Answer:

Charge on each metal sphere will be 8\times 10^{8}C

Explanation:

We have given number of electron added to metal sphere A n=10^{12}electron

As both the spheres are connected by rod so half -half electron will be distributed on both the spheres.

So electron on both the spheres =\frac{10^{12}}{2}=5\times 10^{11}electron

We know that charge on each electron e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C

So charge on both the spheres will be equal to q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^{11}=8\times 10^{8}C

So charge on each metal sphere will be equal to 8\times 10^{8}C
