A spherical source radiates sound uniformly in all directions

Physics Apr 02, 2021

A spherical source radiates sound uniformly in all directions. At a distance of 19 m, the sound intensity level is 120 dB.

(a) At what distance from the source is the intensity level 40 dB?
m

(b) What power is radiated by this source?
W

Expert Solution

Answer:

We know that, P = I A = I (4 pi r2)

(a) At what distance from the source is the intensity level 40 dB?

I1 A1 = I2 A2

(120 dB) 4 (pi) (19 m)2 = (40 dB) 4 (pi) x2

(43320 W) = (40 dB) x2

x2 = (1083 m2)

x = 32.9 m

(b) Power radiated by this source which will be given as :

using a formula, we have

SIL (dB) = 10 log10 (I / I0)

(120) / (10) = log10 [I / (10-12 W/m2)]

(12) = log10 [I / (10-12 W/m2)]

I / (10-12 W/m2) = 1012

I = 1 W/m2

We know that, P = I A = (1 W/m2) 4 (3.14) (19 m)2

P = 4534.1 W
