Question

At a distance of 8 m, the sound intensity of one speaker is 66 dB. If we were to place 3 speakers in a circle of radius 8 m, what woud the sound intensity level be at the center of the circle

Answer 1

Answer:

dβ = 70. 77 dβ

Explanation:

The intensity of sound in decibels is

         dβ = 10 log I/I₀

let's look for the intensity of this signal

         I / I₀ = 10 dβ/10

         I / I₀ = 3.981 10⁶

the threshold intensity of sound for humans is I₀ = 1 10⁻¹² W / m²

         I = 3.981 10 ⁶ 1 10⁻¹²

         I = 3,981 10⁻⁶ W / m²

It is indicated that 3 cornets are placed in the circle, for which total intensity is

        I_total - 3 I

        I_total = 3  3,981 10⁻⁶

        I_total = 11,943 10⁻⁶ W / m²

let's reduce to decibels

      dβ = 10 log (11,943 10⁻⁶/1 10⁻¹²)

      dβ = 10  7.077

      dβ = 70. 77 dβ
