The resultant loudness at a point P is n...

The resultant loudness at a point P is `n` dB higher than the loudness of `S_1` whoch is one of the two identical sound sources `S_1` and `S_2` reaching at that point in phase. Find the value of n.

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of `n`, which represents the increase in loudness at point P due to the interference of two identical sound sources, S1 and S2, that are in phase. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Loudness and Intensity**: - Loudness (in decibels) is related to the intensity of sound. The intensity of sound \( I \) is proportional to the square of the amplitude \( A \) of the sound wave: \[ I \propto A^2 ...
