17.8 Exercise 17

Avg difficulty 2.5

Suppose that the sound level from a source is 75 dB and then drops to 52 dB, with a frequency of 600 Hz. Determine the (a) initial and (b) final sound intensities and the (c) initial and (d) final sound wave amplitudes. The air temperature is TC=24.00°CT_{\text{C}} = 24.00 ° \text{C} and the air density is ρ=1.184kg/m3.\rho = 1.184 \text{kg}/\text{m}^{3} .
