Explain Sound level intensity with mathematical steps?

Physics

yan [13]2 years ago

Answer:

Sound intensity levels are quoted in decibels (dB) much more often than sound intensities in watts per meter squared. Decibels are the unit of choice in the scientific literature as well as in the popular media. The reasons for this choice of units are related to how we perceive sounds. How our ears perceive sound can be more accurately described by the logarithm of the intensity rather than directly to the intensity. The sound intensity level β in decibels of a sound having an intensity I in watts per meter squared is defined to be β(dB)=10log10(II0)β(dB)=10log10⁡(II0), where I0 = 10−12 W/m2 is a reference intensity. In particular, I0 is the lowest or threshold intensity of sound a person with normal hearing can perceive at a frequency of 1000 Hz. Sound intensity level is not the same as intensity. Because β is defined in terms of a ratio, it is a unitless quantity telling you the level of the sound relative to a fixed standard (10−12 W/m2, in this case). The units of decibels (dB) are used to indicate this ratio is multiplied by 10 in its definition. The bel, upon which the decibel is based, is named for Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone.

What is the maximum value of the magnetic field at a<br> distance2.5m from a 100-W light bulb?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the intensity included as the power transferred per unit area, where the area is the perpendicular plane in the direction of energy propagation.

Since the propagation occurs in an area of spherical figure we will have to

I = \frac{P}{A}

I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

Replacing with the given power of the Bulb of 100W and the radius of 2.5m we have that

I = \frac{100}{4\pi (2.5)^2}

I = 1.2738W/m^2

The relation between intensity I and E_{max}

I = \frac{E_max^2}{2\mu_0 c}

Here,

\mu_0 = Permeability constant

c = Speed of light

Rearranging for the Maximum Energy and substituting we have then,

E_{max}^2 = 2I\mu_0 c

E_{max}=\sqrt{2I\mu_0 c }

E_{max} = 2(1.2738)(4\pi*10^{-7})(3*10^8)

E_{max} = 30.982 V/m

Finally the maximum magnetic field is given as the change in the Energy per light speed, that is,

B_{max} = \frac{E_{max}}{c}

B_{max} = \frac{30.982 V /m}{3*10^8}

B_{max} = 1.03275 *10{-7} T

Therefore the maximum value of the magnetic field is B_{max} = 1.03275 *10{-7} T

For the image of the overhead projector to be in focus, the distance from the projector lens to the image, <img src="https://tex
rjkz [21]
Given:
distance from the projector lens to the image, di
projector lens focal length, f
distance from the transparency to the projector lens, do

thin lens equation: 1/f = 1/di + 1/do
do = 4 inches
di = 8 feet

convert feet to inches, for uniformity.
1 foot = 12 inches
8 feet * 12 inches/ft = 96 inches
 
1/f = 1/96 inches + 1/4 inches

Adding fractions, denominator must be the same.

1/f = (1/96 * 1/1) + (1/4 * 24/24)
1/f = 1/96 + 24/96
1/f = 25/96

to find the value of f, do cross multiplication
1*96 = f * 25
96 = 25f
96/25 = f
3.84 = f

The focal length of the project lens is 3.84 inches

what is the magnitude of g at a height above earth surface where free fall acceleration equal 6.5m/s2
ZanzabumX [31]
