The source of a sound wave has a power of 1.00 uW. If it is a point source, a) what is the intensity 3.00 m away and b) what is the sound level in decibels at that distance?
Added by Martin M.
Step 1
Plugging in the given values, we get: Intensity = 1.00 uW / (4π(3.00 m)^2) Intensity = 2.96 × 10^-9 W/m^2 b) Show more…
