Answer:

the required distance is 89.125 m

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that, sound intensity B in decibels of sound is;

β(dB) = 10log₁₀( I / I_0 )

where intensity I = power / area carried by wave

I_0 = 10⁻¹² W/m² { minimum threshold intensity }

Now,

intensity I = power / area carried by wave = P/A = P/4πr² { spherical  }

given that; β = 80.0 dB and P = 10 W

so

β(dB) = 10log₁₀( I / I_0 )

we substitute

80 = 10log₁₀( P / 4πr²× I_0)

80 = 10log₁₀( 10 / 4πr²× 10⁻¹² )

8 = log₁₀(10) - log₁₀( 4πr²× 10⁻¹² )  

8 = 1 - log₁₀( 4πr²× 10⁻¹² )

8 - 1 = -log₁₀( 4πr²× 10⁻¹² )

7 = -log₁₀( 1.2566 × 10⁻¹¹ × r² )

7 = -[ log₁₀( 1.25 × 10⁻¹¹) + log₁₀( r² ) ]

7 = -[ -10.9 + log₁₀( r² ) ]

7 = 10.9 - log₁₀( r² )

-log₁₀( r² ) = 7 - 10.9

-log₁₀( r² )  = - 3.9

log₁₀( r² ) = 3.9

2log₁₀r = 3.9

log₁₀r  = 3.9 /2

log₁₀r = 1.95

r = 89.125 m

Therefore, the required distance is 89.125 m

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is v = 1/ κμ0ε0 , where κ is the dielectri
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is given by :

v=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{k\mu_o\epsilon_o}}

Where

k is the dielectric constant of the substance.

v is the speed of light in water

c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1.78\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}

v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s

So, the speed of light in water is 2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Difference between displacement and vector quantity
daser333 [38]

The only 'difference' is that they are different categories.

It's like asking "What's the difference between Susie and girl ?"

Or "What's the difference between Cadillac and car ?"

Displacement <em>IS</em> a vector quantity.

Answer:

It’s called a conservative field.

Explanation:

I think it’s going to be the conservative field because in the question it talks about how it is able to become possible to define potential at a point in an electric field because electric field.
