bi 3 The change in the frequency by factor two, equivalent to one ..resulting in.. dB change ratio. while the change in frequency by factor ten, equivalent to One
Added by Mariah B.
Step 1
This is because the decibel (dB) scale is logarithmic, and a factor of two corresponds to a 3 dB change. Show more…

Two speakers are attached to variable-frequency signal generator. Speaker $A$ produces a constant-frequency sound wave of $1.00 \mathrm{kHz},$ and speaker $B$ produces a tone of 1.10 kHz. The beat frequency is $0.10 \mathrm{kHz}$. If the frequency of each speaker is doubled, what is the beat frequency produced?

The intensity at the threshold of hearing for the human ear at a frequency of about 1000 Hz is $I_0 =$ 1.0 $\times$ 10$^{-12}$ W$/$m$^2$, for which $\beta$, the sound level, is 0 dB. The threshold of pain at the same frequency is about 120 dB, or $I =$ 1.0 W$m^2$, corresponding to an increase of intensity by a factor of 10$^{12}$. By what factor does the displacement amplitude, $A$, vary?
