Question 5
There is a vibrating point source radiating from a machine, what is
the decreasing
factor of wound intensity when the distance from the source is
doubled? Explain the
results in term of calculation. (8 marks)

Sound intensity is defined as the power carried by sound waves per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area.
= Sound
intensity
= Distance from the
source

So, when the distance from the source is doubled, sound intensity will decrease by factor of 1/4

1.) If light spreads out in all directions, as it does from a point source, the intensity at a certain distance from the source depends on the area over which the light is spread Light Light source Sphere a.) For a sphere of radius r, what is the equation for the surface area A? b.) Intensity is calculated by taking the power output of the light source divided by the area over which the light is spread: Where I is...
