The sound level at a distance of 3.00 m ...

The sound level at a distance of 3.00 m from a source is 120 dB. At what distance will the sound level be (a) 100 dB and (b) 10.0 dB?

To solve the problem, we will use the relationship between sound intensity levels and distances from the sound source. The sound level in decibels (dB) is given by the formula: \[ \beta = 10 \log_{10} \left( \frac{I}{I_0} \right) \] where: - \(\beta\) is the sound level in decibels, ...
