Calculate the sound level (in decibels) of a sound wave that has an intensity of `4.00mu(W)/(m^2)`. |
|
Answer» We expect about 60 dB we use the definition of the decibel scale. We use the equation `beta=10dBlog((I)/(I_0))` Where `I_0=10^(-12)(W)/(m^2)` `beta=10log((4.00xx10^-6(W)/(m^2))/(10^(-12)(W)/(m^2)))=66.0dB` This could be the sound level of a chamber music concert, heard from a few rows back in the audience. |
