- Loudspeakers can produce intense sounds with surprisingly small energy input in spite of their low efficiencies. Calculate the power input needed to produce a 90.0-dB sound intensity level for a 12.0-cmdiameter speaker that has an efficiency of 1.00%. (This value is the sound intensity level right at the speaker.)arrow_forwardA 60 year old person has a threshold of hearing at f=10 kHz of 79.0 dB. In contrast, a typical young adult's threshold at 10 kHz is only =43.0 dB. If the young adult can just barely hear a 10 kHz tone, by what factor must the intensity of the sound wave be amplified so that it is heard by the older person?arrow_forward
