A small speaker delivers $2 W$ of audio output. At what distance from the speaker will one detect $120 d B$ intensity sound? [Given reference intensity of sound as $10^{- 12} W / m^{2}$ ]

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Let the intensity of sound hear by observer is $I$
$120 = 10 \log_{10} \frac{I}{10^{- 12}}$
$12 = \log I - \log_{10} 10^{- 12}$
$= \log I + 12$
$\log I = 0 \Rightarrow I = 1 \frac{w a t t}{m^{2}}$
$I = \frac{P}{4 π r^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow 1 = \frac{2}{4 π r^{2}} \Rightarrow r = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 π}} = 0.4 m = 40 c m$
