The sound intensity 50 m from a wailing tornado siren is 0.10 W/m². What is the sound intensity level 300 m from the siren?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The sound intensity level 300 m from the siren is  [tex]2.77 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Intensity at given distance is given by

[tex]I=\frac{P}{A} =\frac{P}{\pi d^2} =\frac{C}{d^2} \\[/tex]

sound intensity at 50 m is

[tex]I_{50}=\frac{C}{50^2} ........(1)[/tex]

Sound intensity at 300 m is

[tex]I_{300}=\frac{C}{300^2} ........(2)\\[/tex]

solving equation 1 and 2, we get

[tex]I_{50}\times 50^2=I_{300}\times 300^2\\0.1\times 50^2=I_{300}\times 300^2\\I_{300}=2.77 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2[/tex]

The sound intensity level 300 m from the siren is  [tex]2.77 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2[/tex]
