Loudness (_____)
Intensity is related to theamount of energy involved
Alexander Graham Bell…inventor of the ______
Intensity scale is measured by d. B (______)
d. B are considered a logarithmic scale Source Intensity Level # of Times Greater Than TOH Threshold of Hearing Rustling Leaves Whisper Normal Conversation Busy Street Traffic Vacuum Cleaner Large Orchestra Walkman at Maximum Level Front Rows of Rock Concert Threshold of Pain Military Jet Takeoff Instant Perforation of Eardrum 0 d.

A logarithmic chart…for every increase in d. B level, the increase in intensity (loudness) increases by a power of 10 On the decibel scale, the smallest audible sound (the threshold of hearing) is 0 d. B. A sound 10 times more powerful is 10 d. B. A sound 100 times more powerful than near total silence is 20 d. B A sound 1, 000 times more powerful than near total silence is 30 d. B.
Review A mosquito's buzz is often rated with a decibel rating of 40 d. B. Normal conversation is often rated at 60 d. B. How many times more intense is normal conversation compared to a mosquito's buzz? __________
AP Physics Sound is a form of energy. The intensity of sound is the amount of energy per second falling on a surface,
Most sound sources distribute their sound equally in all directions, producing a spherical pattern.
The mathematical relationship between intensity and distance is sometimes referred to as an inverse square relationship. Can you name the other inverse-square laws? 1) Newton’s 2)Electric Universal law of gravitation 3)Magnetism 4)Sound 5)and Radiation (Light)
Formulas Intensity = Power �� r² 4 Unit: Watt/m²

Practice A fog horn blows with the power 1000 W. What will be the sound intensity at a distance of 20 m? Solution: Using I = P/(4πr 2) I = 1000 watts / (4π ∙ 20. 02 m 2) = 0. 199 watts/m 2.
