Assignment - 02 Output: Individual, Self composed solutions
1 Using logarithms, compute the Sound intensity levels (L) in dB corresponding to the sound intensities (I)
in watts per square meter. a) 8.48 x 10+1 W/m2 ; b) 1.0 x 10-12 W/m2
2 Find the corresponding sound intensities (I) in watts per square meter from the following sound
intensity levels (L) inn dB ; a) 125 dB ; b) 29dB ; c) 73 dB; d) 0 dB (Go through video ref 01, for antilog)
3 A siren produces an intensity of 2.0 x 10-3 W/m2
outdoors at a distance of 40 feet away.
What would be the intensity at 20 feet away?
