The sound intensity at the eardrums of the first student is 0.93 W/m2, while at the eardrums of the second student the sound intensity is 1.16 times greater. If the diameter of the second student’s eardrum is 1.1 cm, how much acoustic power, in microwatts, is striking each of his (and the other student’s) eardrums?arrow_forwardThere was an accident and NASA engineers are trying to sort out where two of their Mars Rovers, Tango and Foxtrot, have landed. The engineers know that landing site A is much hotter than landing site B. Unfortunately, the only working sensors on Tango and Foxtrot measure the speed of sound. If Tango measures the speed of sound at it's landing site as 240 m/s, while Foxtrot measures speed of sound as 258 m/s at it's landing site, where has each rover landed?arrow_forward

- Item 9 Learning Goal: To learn the properties of logarithms and how to manipulate them when solving sound problems. The intensity of sound is the power of the sound waves divided by the area on which they are incident. Intensity is measured in watts per square meter, or W/m². The human ear can detect a remarkable range of sound intensities. The quietest sound that we can hear has an intensity of 10-¹2 W/m², and we begin to feel pain when the intensity reaches 1 W/m². Since the intensities that matter to people in everyday life cover a range of 12 orders of magnitude, intensities are usually converted to a logarithmic scale called the sound intensity level 3, which is measured in decibels (dB). For a given sound intensity I, B is found from the equation ß = (10 dB) log (1). where Io = 1.0 × 10-¹2 W/m². Part A What is the value of log(1,000,000)?
