The radius of a human ear drum is about 0.004m. What is the power output of a sound that is at an intensity level of 120dB, the threshold of pain?
Find the intensity using the equation for sound level and use
the intensity and area of eardrum to find the required power as
shown below

A stereo speaker (considered a small source) emits sound waves with a power output of 22.4 W. (Assume that the sound is emitted uniformly in all directions from the speaker.) a) Find the intensity 10.5 m from the source. b) Find the intensity level, in decibels, at this distance. c) At what distance would you experience the sound at the threshold of pain, 120 dB?
49) The audible range of human hearing is about 20Hz to 20,000Hz. The intensity for these frequencies are given important monikers. Which of the following correctly identifies the boundaries of human hearing? (Choose two) A) Threshold of Hearing B) Threshold of Sound C) Threshold of Pain D) Threshold of tympanic vibration

At 10:02 am local time on August 27, 1883, the Krakatoa volcano exploded. This volcanic eruption supposedly generated the loudest sound ever heard on Earth. Measurements at the time placed the peak sound level of 165 dB at a distance of 40 miles from the eruption! This large transient sound level will break your ear drums and corresponds to an increase in air pressure of 2.5 inches of mercury. (a) What is the intensity (I) of the eruption sound at...
You stand 30 m from a large speaker at a concert, and the intensity of the sound you hear from that speaker is 4×10−2 W/m2 . How much power is the speaker emitting? What is the intensity of the sound from the speaker at a distance of 60 m ? The pain threshold for humans is a sound intensity level of about 120dB. At what distance from this speaker would the sound be painful?
The range of frequencies heard by the healthy human ear stretches from about 16 Hz to 20 kHz. What are the corresponding wavelengths of sound waves at these frequencies? (Use the speed of sound in air at 20°C.) λ (f = 16 Hz) =_______ m λ (f = 20 kHz) =_______cm
QUESTION The power output of a sound system is increased by a factor of 25. By what factor should you adjust your distance from the speakers so the sound intensity is the same? PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A small source emits sound waves with a power output of 82.9 w. (a) Find the intensity 3.05 m from the source.

The faintest sound intensity that the human ear can detect at 1000 Hz is approximately 1-10-12 W/m2. What is the maximum displacement amplitude, , in air corresponding to this intensity? (Assume a plane wave propagation). What is the maximum velocity, , in air corresponding to this intensity? What is the maximum change in the pressure amplitude, m in air corresponding to this intensity?
Assume that you are at a concert in which the "Sound Intensity Level" in your ear canal is known to be 110 What is the intensity of the sound in your ear canal in W/m2? What is the intensi of sound in the tissue of your eardrum in Wm2? Assume that the impedance of the air in the ear canal is Z 413 kg/(m's) and that the impedance of the eardrum is that of water, Z20 1.48e6 kg/(m's)
