How many times the pressure amplitude is increased, if sound level is increased by `40 dB` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`beta_(1) = 10 log"(I_(1))/(I_(0))`
`beta_(2) = 10 log'(I_(2))/(I_(0)) rArr beta_(2) - beta_(1) = 10 log"((I_(2)))/(I_(1))`
or `40 = 10 log_(10)((I_(2))/(I_(1))) rArr (I_(2))/(I_(1)) = 10^(4) = 10^(4)`
`I prop P_(0^(2)) (P_(02)^(2))/ (P_(01)^(2)) rArr (P_(02))/(P_(01)) = 100`
`P_(01) = 10^(2)P_(01)`

Hearing may be damaged by excessive noise. So our ear sometimes need protection from continuous loud sound. Hearing damage depends on the sound intensity level (decibel level) and the exposure time, and the exact combinations vary for different people. Normally, at 90 dB , it takes 8 hours or less for the damage to receptor nerves to occur. further, it is found that if the sound level is increased by 5 dB , the safe exposure limit is cut to half. (a) How long will it take for a sound of a very loud lawn mower (or a motorcycle) of 95 dB to damage the hearing ? (b) What is the nonstop exposure time for a 105 dB sound to damage the ear ? ( c) What should be done to protect the society from the danger of losing the divine gift of hearing power ?

Sound level /loudness at any point in a room is increased from "50dB" to "60dB" by increasing the pressure amplitude, if final pressure amplitude is "K" times that of initial. Find the value of (K^(2))/(5)

A sound wave of wavelength 20pi cm travels in air if the difference between the maximum and minimum pressures at a given point is 3.0xx10^-3 N//m^2 . Now sound level is increased by 20 dB, if the new amplitude of vibration of the particles of the medium at that given point is 20k (in Å ) then 'k' is : (The bulk modulus of air is 1.5xx10^5 N//m^2 ) (wavelength is same in both cases )

How can pressure be increased or decreased?

STATEMENT-1 : The energy isincreased because the amplitude is increased . and STATEMENT-2 : The amplitude is increased because energy is increased.
