A person speacking normally produces a sound intensity of 40dB AT A IDISTANCE OF 1M. If the threshold intensity for reasonable audiblity is 20dB, the maximum distance at which a person can be heard clearly is (2x) meter . Find the value of x.

At a distance of 5.0 m from a point sound source, the sound intensity level is 110 dB. At what distance is the intensity level 95 dB?

A person can throw a stone to a maximum height of h meter. The maximum distance to which he can throw the stone is:

Airport authority has made the regulation that maximum allowable intensity level detected by a microphone situated at the end of 1630 m long runway can be 100 dB. An aeroplane when flying at a height of 200 m produces an intensity level of 100 dB on ground. while taking off, this aeroplane makes an angle of 30^@ with horizontal. Find the maximum distance this aeroplane can cover on the runway, so that the regulation are not violated (assume no reflection).

A person can throw a stone to a maximum distance of h meter. The greatest height to which he can throw the stone is:

From a height of 2 m a drop of water of radius 2xx10^(-3) m fall and produces a sound. The sound produced can be heard upto a distance of 20 m. If the gravitational energy is converted into sound energy in 0.5 s, then calculate the intensity at a distance of 20 m.
