▼ Part B In general, if a sound has intensity of 3 dB at 1 m from the source, at what distance de from the source would the decibel level decrease to 0 dB? Since the limit of hearing is 0 dB this would mean you could no longer hear it. Express the distance in terms of B. Be careful about your signs! ▸ View Available Hint(s) 195] ΑΣΦ do= 3.55 Submit ? E

**Educational Transcription: Sound Intensity and Distance**

The sound of normal breathing is relatively quiet with an intensity of about 11 dB at a distance of 1 meter from the breather's face. In this problem, sound intensity in decibels is denoted as \( \beta \), while intensity in \( \text{W/m}^2 \) is denoted as \( I \).

**Task:**

1. Express the detection distance \( D_{\text{detect}} \) in meters. 
    - **Given Solution**: \( D_{\text{detect}} = 3.16 \) m
    - This answer is correct.

**Part B:**

In general, if a sound has an intensity of \( \beta \) dB at 1 meter from the source, determine the distance \( d_0 \) from the source where the decibel level decreases to 0 dB. Since the threshold of hearing is 0 dB, reaching this level means the sound is no longer audible.

**Instructions:**

- Express the distance in terms of \( \beta \). Pay close attention to your signs!
  
  - **Input Field**: \( d_0 = 3.55 \) m 
  - **Submit Button** to submit the answer.
  - **Feedback**: This attempt is incorrect. There are 5 attempts remaining.
