Question

if the intensity of a person's voice is 4.6 x 10^-7 w/m^2 at a distance of 2.0 m, how much sound power does that person generate.

Answer 1

The sound power the person generated is $2.313 \times 10^{-5} \ W$.

Area of the sound wave

The area of the sound wave is calculated as follows;

$A = 4\pi r^2\\\\A = 4 \pi \times (2)^2\\\\A = 50.272 \ m^2$

Power generated

The sound power the person generated is calculated as follows;

$P = I A\\\\P = 4.6\times 10^{-7} \ W/m^2 \ \ \times \ \ 50.272 \ m^2\\\\P = 2.313 \times 10^{-5} \ W$
