Answer:

3.16

Explanation:

We know that sound level in dB = 10log(I'/I) where I = initial intensity at 20.0m from source = P/A where P = total power and A = area at 20.0 m and I' = New intensity when the sound level increases by 5.00 dB at 20.0 m from source = P'/A where P' = Power at 5.00 dB and A = area at 20.0 m

dB = 5.00 dB. So,

5.00 dB = 10log(P'/A ÷ P/A)

5.00 dB = 10log(P'/P)

5/10 = log(P'/P)

0.5 = log(P'/P)

taking anti-logarithm of both sides,

10⁰°⁵ = P'/P

P'/P = 3.16

P' = 3.16P

So, P must be increased by a factor of 3.16 for the sound intensity level at a distance of 20.0 m from the source is to increase 5.00 dB.

A wave with a frequency of 325 Hz. is travelling at a speed of 125 m/s. What is the wavelength of this wave?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

0.385 meters

Explanation:

Just remember this very simple equation:

velocity=(wavelength)*(frequency)

I always remember it as "Velma is Waving Frantically"

So, 125=(wavelength)*(325)

Therefore, wavelength=0.385 meters!

Hope this helped!

What is an earth revolution, what shape is it's path, and how long does it last?
zaharov [31]

An Earth revolution is a trip around the sun in a closed path (relative to the sun).

The path is very nearly an ellipse with the sun at one focus, and a little less nearly a circle with the sun at the center.

One complete revolution takes roughly 365.24 days, and at that point, the Earth immediately begins another one.

We have a special word that we use to refer to that special period of time. In English, it's called a "year".
