146. Problem 20.25 (RHK) We have to estimate the maximum possible sound level in decibels of sound waves in air. |
|
Solution: Click For PDF Version The intensity I of sound waves is related to the pressure amplitude,
For answering this problem we will use the following data:
Substituting the above data, we find that the maximum intensity of sound waves in air is
The sound level, SL, of this intensity is
