A source of sound waves is isotropic, and emits a constant power P. You stand an unknown distance, r, from this source and measure the sound level to be 75.0 dB. You move 10.0 m closer to the source and measure the sound level to be 80.0 dB.
a) Calculate P and r.

b) with the same source and the same power output. You begin at the same distance, r, from this source and measure the sound level to be 75. dB. How far along along a line that is 45 degrees from the line directly towards the source should you move so that the sound level is 80.0 dB?

A point source emits monochromatic electromagnetic waves into air uniformly in all directions. You measure the amplitude Emax of the electric field at several distances from the source. After graphing your results as Emax versus 1/r you find that the data lie close to a straight line that has slope 45.0 N⋅m/C. What is the average power output of the source?

15.49 - 30 seconds of exposure to 115 dB sound can damage your hearing, but a much quieter 94 dB may begin to cause damage after 1 hour of continuous exposure. You are going to an outdoor concert, and you'll be standing near a speaker that emits 47 W of acoustic power as a spherical wave. What minimum distance should you be from the speaker to keep the sound intensity level below 94 dB? Express your answer to two significant...

The intensity ,I from a point source decreases with the inverse square of the distance,r from the source.Suppose that you are listening to your favourite music coming away from a speaker(regarded as a point source and in an open area) placed exactly r1 from you.then you suddenly decide to move away to a new position ,r2 which is exactly twice as far away from the speaker. Calculate by how many decibels ,dB does the sound intensity level ,β drop ,when...
