Jog o(10") = n.] 23.42 [I] The threshold of human hearing is an intensity of about 10-!2 W/m’, Determine the corresponding intensity level using your calculator. Make sure to distinguish between the keys for In and log even though it doesn’t matter in this special case. Do the calculation again, this time with the intensity at the threshold of pain where [y= 1 W/m?. 23.43 [IT] A machine produces a sound level of 80 dB at the location of a detector. What would be the new sound level at the detector if an identical machine at the same distance was now turned on adding to the tumult? [Hint: Intensity levels do not simply add, whereas intensities do.] 23.44 [I] Suppose the intensity of sound increases by a multiplicative factor of 10.0, going from say 1.0 W/m? to 10 W/m? to 100 W/m? and so on. By how much is the intensity level increased each time? 23.45 [I] If the intensity level of sound is to be decreased from 130 dB to 110 GB and if the initial intensity is I;, what will be the final intensity I? [Hint: Study the previous problem.] 23.46 [I] Suppose we add +3.0 dB to the intensity level of sound in a room. What happens to the intensity as measured in W/m2? 23.47 [I] If the intensity of sound changes, the sound level will change. Suppose then that the sound level goes from ; to B; such that B;— B, = AB. Show that Ag = 101021) ars) [Hint: Remember that logyg A — logy B = logyg A/B.] 23.48 [I] Redo Problem 23.45 using Eq. (23.9). 23.49 [I] A sound has an intensity of 5.0 x 10-7 W/m?, What is its intensity
