Two identical rifles are shot at the same time, and the sound intensity level is 64.7 dB. What would be the sound intensity level if only one rifle were shot

Respuesta :

Answer:

61.7 dB

Explanation:

The sound intensity of Rifle can be calculated using this formula

I ( sound intensity ) = 10 * log ( I / IO) equation 1

where I = power/area

I = 64.7 dB

hence equation 1 becomes

64.7 = 10* log ( I / IO ) equation 2

note the sound intensity was produced by 2 identical rifle hence equation 2 will become

64.7 = 10 * log ( 2P / PO ) equation 3

for a single rifle (X) equation 3 becomes

= 64.7 - 10* log (2) = 64.7 - 10*0.30 = 64.7 - 3

= 61.7 dB

If only one rifle were shot, the sound intensity level will be "61.7 dB".

Sound intensity

According to the question,

When two identical rifles are shot,

Sound intensity level (I) = 64.7 dB

We know the relation,

I = [tex]\frac{Power}{Area}[/tex]

 = 64.7 dB

Now,

→     I = 10 × log([tex]\frac{I}{IO}[/tex]) ...(equation 1)

By substituting the values, we get

64.7 = 10 × log([tex]\frac{I}{IO}[/tex]) ...(equation 2)

then,

Two identical rifle then,

64.7 = 10 × log([tex]\frac{2P}{PO}[/tex]) ...(equation 3)

hence,

The sound intensity level be:

= 64.7 - 10 × log(2)

= 64.7 - 10 × 0.30

= 64.7 - 3

= 61.7 dB

Thus the response above is right.
