A rock band give rise to an average sound level of `102 dB` at a distance of `20 m` from the center of the band . As an approximation , assume that the band radiates sound equally into a sphere. What is the sound power output of the band?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the sound power output of the band, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between sound level and intensity The sound level \( L \) in decibels (dB) is related to the intensity \( I \) of the sound by the formula: \[ L = 10 \log_{10} \left( \frac{I}{I_0} \right) \] where \( I_0 \) is the reference intensity, typically \( I_0 = 10^{-12} \, \text{W/m}^2 \). ...

A military band was marching on a street in the same direction as the normal traffic flow. A motorist was approching the band from behind in his car just at the moment when they were playing the musical note A (frequency 440 Hz ) in unison. The same band' performance was also simultaneously being broad live on the ratio from a stationary microphone which was situated on the sidewalk just ahead of the band. The motorist noticed that the combination of the direct sound coming from the band ahead of the band brodcast produced discernible beats. Timing the beats, he counted 4 beats in 3 seconds. He noted from the speedmeter that his car was travelling at 18 kilometers per hour. Calculate the speed in meters per seconds at which the band was marching assuming that the speed of sound on that day was 330 ms^(-1) . (It was a very cold day)
