You stand 280 cm away from a tuning fork emitting a sound with 7.6 x 10^-4 w of
power. what is the intensity of the sound you hear?

Respuesta :

The intensity of the sound you hear at a distance of 280cm away from the tuning fork is 7.72 x 10⁻⁶ W/m².

What is sound intensity?

The power carried by sound waves per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area.

It is defined as the ratio of power and area.

I = P / 4πr²

Given is the radius 280 cm =  2.8 m and power 7.6 x 10⁻⁴ watt, then the sound intensity is

I =  7.6 x 10⁻⁴ / (4 x 3.14 x 2.8²)

I = 7.72 x 10⁻⁶ W/m²

Thus, the intensity of the sound you hear at a distance of 280cm away fr0om the tuning fork is 7.72 x 10⁻⁶ W/m².
