The toadfish makes use of resonance in a closed tube to produce very loud sounds. The tube is its swim bladder, used as an amplifier. The sound level of this creature has been measured as high as 100 dB. (a) Calculate the intensity of the sound wave emitted. W/m2 (b) What is the intensity level if three of these toadfish try to make a sound at the same time

Respuesta :

Answer:

a)     I = 10⁻² W / m², b)   β = 104.8 db

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we use the definition of decibels

           β = 10 log [tex]\frac{I}{I_o}[/tex]

where I and Io are the intensities produced and the sound threshold

I₀ = 10⁻¹² W / m²

            log \frac{I}{I_o} =   β / 10

            I = Io [tex]10^{\beta /10}[/tex]

let's calculate

            I = 10⁻¹²   [tex]10^{100/10}[/tex]

            I = 10⁻² W / m²

b) each toad produces the same sound for which the total intensity is

            I_total = 3 I

            I_total = 3 10⁻² W / m²

expressed in decibels

           β = 10 log ([tex]\frac{3 \ 10^{-2} }{10^{-12} }[/tex])

           β = 104.8 db

The toadfish make sue of the resonance on the closed system tube to make a very loud noise and fish tube is the bladder which us used for amplifying the sounds. The sound level of the creatures has been taken as 100DB.

  • The intensity of the sound waves emitted by the fish is  I = 10⁻² W / m²,
  • The intensity of he waves and level of the three of these toadfish is make a sound at the same time is that of β = 104.8 DB.
