Question
A fireworks rocket explodes at a height of 1000 m above the ground. An observer on the ground directly below the explosion experiences an average sound intensity of 7.00 × 10-2 W/m2 for 0.200 s. (a) What is the total amount of energy transferred away from the explosion by the sound? (b) What is the intensity level (sound level) in decibels heard by the observer?
For a second observer (watching from home) located 5.25 km horizontally away from the first observer what are (c) the intensity and (d) the intensity level at the location of the second observer? Include a diagram of the situation.

- Suppose that a public address system emits sound uniformly in all directions and that there are no reflections. The intensity at a location 27 m away from the sound source is 3.0 X 10-4 W/m2. What is the intensity at a spot that is 80 m away?arrow_forwardAn ultrasound unit is being used to measure a patient’s heartbeat by combining the emitted 2.0 MHz signal with the sound waves reflected from the moving tissue of one point on the heart. The beat frequency between the two signals has a maximum value of 520 Hz. What is the maximum speed of the heart tissue?arrow_forwardFrom a vantage point very close to the track at a stock car race, you hear the sound emitted by a moving car. You detect a frequency that is 0.855 times smaller than that emitted by the car when it is stationary. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the speed of the car?arrow_forward
- Problem #4: What sound intensity level in dB is produced by earphones that create an intensity of 4.00 x 10-2 W/m2? Problem #5: What is the intensity of a sound that has a level 7.00 dB lower than a 4.00 × 10–9 W/m2 sound? Problem #6: What is the intensity of a sound that is 3.00 dB higher than a 4.00 × 10–9 W/m2 sound? Problem #7: If a large housefly 3.0 m away from you makes a noise of 40.0 dB, what is the noise level of 1000 flies at that distance, assuming interference has a negligible effect?arrow_forwardTwo sound waves arrive to an observer, the first is loud at 2 W/m ^2 and the second one is quieter at 100 mW/m^2 ; how many dB louder is the first one compared to the second one?arrow_forwardDolphins of the open ocean are classified as Type II Odontocetes (toothed whales). These animals use ultrasonic "clicks" with a frequency of about 55 kHz to navigate and find prey. Suppose a dolphin sends out a series of clicks that are reflected back from the bottom of the ocean 90 m below. How much time elapses before the dolphin hears the echoes of the clicks? (The speed of sound in seawater is approximately 1530 m/s.) What is the wavelength of 55 kHz sound in the ocean?arrow_forward
- A person wears a hearing aid that uniformly increases the intensity level of all audible frequencies of sound by 30.0 dB. The hearing aid picks up sound having a frequency of 100 Hz and an intensity of3.9e-10 W/m22. What is the intensity delivered to the eardrum?arrow_forwardYou detect a sound intensity of 0.0000136 W/m2 coming from a speaker with a power of 0.217 W. How far away from the speaker are you standing?arrow_forwardA person wears a hearing aid that uniformly increases the sound intensity level to all audible frequencies by 35 dB. The hearing aid picks up the initial frequency of 4.5 kHz at an intensity of 4.55X10^-11 W/m^2. What is the intensity delivered to the ear drum?arrow_forward
