You wish to watch TV at exactly 85 dB and no louder to avoid long term damage to your hearing. You record the sound intensity le

vel to be 125 dB from a 1,200 W amplifier. The source is way too loud so you hit the remote and reduce the power to make the new sound intensity level be 107 dB.
1. What is the new power coming from the amplifier?
2. How far away are you from the amplifier now?
3. The sound is still too loud so you decide to cut amplifier power in half. How much farther/closer do you need to move to get down to 85 dB?

Answer:

1) the new power coming from the amplifier is 19.02 W

2) The distance away from the amplifier now is 5.50 m

3) u₁ = 69.24 m

Therefore have to move u₁ - u ( 69.24 - 5.50) = 63.74 farther

Explanation:

Lets say that I am at a distance "u" from the TV,

Let I₁ be the corresponding intensity of the sound at my location when sound level is 125dB

SO

S(indB) = 10log (I₁/1₀)

we substitute

125 = 10(I₁/10⁻¹²)

12.5 = log (I₁/10⁻¹²)

10^12.5 = I₁/10^-12

I₁ = 10^12.5 × 10^-12

I₁ = 10^0.5 W/m²

Now I₂ will be intensity of sound when corresponding sound level is 107 dB

107 = 10log(I₂/10⁻²)

10.7 = log(I₂/10⁻¹²)

10^10.7 = I₂ / 10^-12

I₂ = 10^10.7  ×  10^-12

I₂ = 10^-1.3 W/m²

Now since we know that

I = P/4πu² ⇒ p = 4πu²I

THEN P₁ = 4πu²I₁ and P₂ =4πu²I₂

Therefore

P₁/P₂ = I₁/I₂

WE substitute

P₂ = P₁(I₂/I₁) = 1200 × ( 10^-1.3 / 10^0.5)

P₂ = 19.02 W

the new power coming from the amplifier is 19.02 W

2)

P₁ = 4πu²I₁

u =√(p₁/4πI₁)

u = √(1200/4π × 10^0.5)

u = 5.50 m

The distance away from the amplifier now is 5.50 m

3)

Let I₃ be the intensity corresponding to required sound level 85 dB

85 = 10log(I₃/10⁻¹²)

8.5 = log (I₃/10⁻¹²)

10^8.5 = I₃ / 10^-12

I₃ = 10^8.5  × 10^-12

I₃ = 10^-3.5 w/m²

Now, I ∝ 1/u²

so I₂/I₃ = u₁²/u²

u₁ = √(I₂/I₃) × u

u₁ = √(10^-1.3 / 10^-3.5) ×  5.50

u₁ = 69.24 m

Therefore have to move u₁ - u ( 69.24 - 5.50) = 63.74 farther

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

0.009 N, repulsive

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two electric charges is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we have

q_1 =q_2 = +4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C are the two charges

r = 4.5 m is their separation

Substituting into the equation, we find

F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(+4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)(4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)}{(4.5 m)^2}=0.009 N

Moreover, the force is repulsive. In fact, the following rules apply:

- When two charges have same sign, they repel each other

- When two charges have opposite signs, they attract each other
