To solve this exercise it is necessary to use the concepts related to Difference in Phase.
The Difference in phase is given by
Where
Horizontal distance between two points
Wavelength
From our values we have,
The horizontal distance between this two points would be given for
Therefore using the equation we have
Therefore the correct answer is C.
Answer:
required distance is 233.35 m
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Sound intensity = 1.62 × 10⁻⁶ W/m²
distance r = 165 m
at what distance from the explosion is the sound intensity half this value?
we know that;
Sound intensity is proportional to 1/(distance)²
i.e
∝ 1/r²
Now, let r² be the distance where sound intensity is half, i.e ₂ =
₁/2
Hence,
₂/
₁ = r₁²/r₂²
1/2 = (165)²/ r₂²
r₂² = 2 × (165)²
r₂² = 2 × 27225
r₂² = 54450
r₂ = √54450
r₂ = 233.35 m
Therefore, required distance is 233.35 m
