The sound intensity [tex]I_1[/tex] a distance [tex]d_1[/tex] = 15.0 m from a chain saw is 0.280 [tex]W/m^2[/tex]The sound intensity [tex]I_2[/tex] a distance [tex]d_2[/tex] = 32.0 m from the chain saw will be [tex]0.0615W/m^2[/tex].
How to find the sound intensity at the given distance?
To find the sound intensity, following formula is used:
[tex]\frac{I_1}{I_2} =\frac{d_2^2}{d_1^2}[/tex]
We will substitute the numerical values, we get:
[tex]\frac{0.280}{I_2} =\frac{32^2}{15^2} \\I_2=\frac{15^2\times0.280}{32^2} =0.0615W/m^2[/tex]
