Answer to Problem 74P

The sound intensity level right in front of the trumpet is 138dB.

Explanation of Solution

The energy rate of the trumpet is 0.800W. The diameter of the bell opening is 12.7cm.

Write the formula for the sound intensity level in decibels.

β=(10dB)log10II0 (I)

Here, β is the intensity in decibels, I is the intensity, I0 is a constant.

Write the formula for intensity.

I=PA (II)

Here, P is the power, A is the area.

Write the formula for area.

A=πd24 (III)

Here, d is the diameter.

Substitute equation (III) in (II).

β=(10dB)log104PI0πd2 (IV)

Conclusion:

Substitute 0.800W for P, 12.7cm for d, 1012W/m2 for I0

β=(10dB)log104(0.800W)(1012W/m2)π(12.7cm)2=(10dB)log104(0.800W)(1012W/m2)π(12.7×102m)2=138dB

The sound intensity level right in front of the trumpet is 138dB.

(b)

To determine

The sound intensity level at a distance of 10.0m the trumpet if it radiates sound uniformly in all direction.

Answer to Problem 74P

The sound intensity level at a distance of 10.0m the trumpet if it radiates sound uniformly in all direction is 88dB.

Explanation of Solution

The energy rate of the trumpet is 0.800W. The diameter of the bell opening is 12.7cm.

Write the formula for the sound intensity level in decibels.

β=(10dB)log10II0 (I)

Here, β is the intensity in decibels, I is the intensity, I0 is a constant.

Write the formula for intensity.

I=PA (II)

Here, P is the power, A is the area.

When the trumpet is giving out waves uniformly in all directions, the sound wave is spread out in uniform spherical shells.

Write the formula for area.

A=4πd2 (V)

Here, d is the distance from the trumpet.

Substitute equation (IV) in (II).

β=(10dB)log10PI0πd2 (VI)

Conclusion:

Substitute 0.800W for P, 10.0m for d, 1012W/m2 for I0.

β=(10dB)log10(0.800W)(1012W/m2)4π(10.0m)2=88dB

The sound intensity level at a distance of 10.0m the trumpet if it radiates sound uniformly in all direction is 88dB.
