The sound intensity from a jack hammer breaking concrete is 2.0 W/m2 at a distance of 2.0 m from the point of impact. This is sufficiently loud to cause permanent hearing damage if the operator doesn't wear ear protection. What are (a) the sound intensity and (b) the sound intensity level for a person watching from 50 m away?I figured out that: I =3.2×10-3but what is beta??orwhat is B?

Answer:

0.0032 W/m²

95.0514997832 dB

Explanation:

r = Distance

I = Intensity = 2 W/m²

[tex]I_0[/tex] = Threshold intensity = [tex]10^{-12}\ W/m^2[/tex]

Intensity is given by

[tex]I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow P=I4\pi r^2\\\Rightarrow P=2\times 4\pi\times 2^2\\\Rightarrow P=32\pi[/tex]

at r = 50

[tex]I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{32\pi}{4\pi 50^2}\\\Rightarrow I=0.0032\ W/m^2[/tex]

The sound intensity is 0.0032 W/m²

Sound intensity levele is given by

[tex]\beta=10log\dfrac{I}{I_0}\\\Rightarrow \beta=10log\dfrac{0.0032}{10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow \beta=95.0514997832\ dB[/tex]

The sound intensity level is 95.0514997832 dB

(a) The sound intensity for the person watching from 50 m away is 0.0032 W/m².

(b) The sound intensity level is 95.1 dB.

The given parameters;

  • intensity of the sound, I = 2 W/m²
  • initial distance, r = 2 m
  • threshold intensity, I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²

The power of the sound is calculated as follows;

[tex]I= \frac{P}{A} \\\\P = IA\\\\P = I(4\pi r^2)\\\\P = 2 \times 4 \times \pi \times 2^2\\\\P = 32 \pi \ W[/tex]

The sound intensity for the person watching from 50 m away is calculated as follows;

[tex]I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2} \\\\I = \frac{32\pi }{4\pi \times 50^2} \\\\I = 0.0032 \ W/m^2[/tex]

The sound intensity level is calculated as follows;

[tex]\beta = 10\ log\frac{I}{I_o} \\\\\beta = 10 \times log (\frac{0.0032}{1\times 10^{-12}} )\\\\\beta = 95.1 \ dB[/tex]
