- A speaker designed to emit spherical sound waves is producing a sound intensity of 8 W/m2 at a distance of 1 m from the speaker.

As you are sing, the power of the compression wave you create is approximately 297.02 nW (note, nW is nano-Watts). What is the intensity of this sound as measured by your roommate who is standing 6.04m from you? Please give your answer in units of nW/m2. This unit is not a common one. Usually, the unit would simply be Watts per square-meter (which would be your answer divided by a million!). This goes to show you that are ears are amazingly sensitive to very tiny sound intensities. Note: Intensity was a topic covered in section 11.1, and I will provide the formula: I = P / A where P is the power in units of Watts, and A is the surface area of a sphere of radius "L" (in this problem).arrow_forwardA person wears a hearing aid that uniformly increases the sound intensity level to all audible frequencies by 35 dB.
