A sound wave with intensity 1.6×10−3 W/m2 is perceived to be modestly loud. Your eardrum is 6.0 mm in diameter. How much energy will be transferred to your eardrum while listening to this sound for 1.0 min?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Energy  transferred to eardrum while listening to this sound for 1.0 min is [tex]2.713 * 10^{-6}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Sound waves of intensity [tex]1.6 * 10^{-3} \frac{W}{m^2}[/tex]

Size of the ear drum i.e diameter  [tex]6.0[/tex] millimeter

Radius of the ear drum

[tex]= \frac{D}{2} \\= \frac{6}{2} \\= 3[/tex]

Time for which the eardrum will listen to this sound [tex]= 1.0[/tex] minutes.

As we know that the energy transferred to eardrum can be calculated by using below given relation

[tex]E = I * A* t\\[/tex]

Where is the energy in Joules

I is the intensity in [tex]\frac{W}{m^2}[/tex]

A is the area in [tex]m^2[/tex]

and t is the time in seconds

Substituting the given values in above equation we get

[tex]E = 1.6 * 10^{-3} * (\pi r^2)* 60\\E = 1.6 * 10^{-3} * (3.14 * (3*10^{-3})^2)* 60\\E = 2.713 * 10^{-6}\\[/tex]

Energy  transferred to eardrum while listening to this sound for 1.0 min is [tex]2.713 * 10^{-6}[/tex]

The energy transformed to eardrums in 1.0 min is [tex]2.71543 \times 10^{-6}[/tex]

Given to us

  • The intensity of sound wave = [tex]1.6\times 10^{-3}\ \ W/m^2[/tex]
  • Diameter of the eardrum = 6.0 mm = 0.006 m
  • time = 1.0 min = 60 seconds

What is the radius of the eardrum?

[tex]Radius, r = \dfrac{Diameter}{2} = \dfrac{0.006}{2} = {0.003\ m}[/tex]

Therefore, the radius of the eardrum is 0.003 m.

Energy transformation

The energy transformed to the year drum can be written as,

[tex]E = I\times A\times t[/tex]

where

I is the intensity of the sound wave,

A is the area,

t is the time,

Substituting the values,

[tex]E = I\times A\times t\\E = 1.6 \times 10^{-3} \times (\pi r^2) \times 60\\E = 2.71543 \times 10^{-6}[/tex]

Hence, the energy transformed to eardrums in 1.0 min is [tex]2.71543 \times 10^{-6}[/tex].
