1b. What is the loudness of this speaker?
- Speaker A is playing a sound with double the intensity of Speaker B. How much louder is Speaker A than Speaker B?
- Speaker A is playing a sound with a quarter of the amplitude of Speaker B. How much louder is Speaker A than Speaker B?
- What is the impedance of a wave with a speed of 243m/s and a density of 3.2 kg/m3.
- What is the ratio of impedance when Z1 = 3.2 x 103 and Z2 = 1.45 x 102 ?
