Quiz zum Vortrag
What is the dimension of sound intensity?
- Power per area
- Energy per area
- Force per area
- Energy per volume
- Power per volume
How many decibels is a sound heard with 100I₀ of intensity?
- 20 dB
- 2 dB
- 100 dB
- 10 dB
- 1 dB
Why do we use the decibel scale to classify the intensity of sounds which a human can hear?
- The decibel scale is more compatible with our perception of the difference in the loudness of different sounds that we hear as compared to the intensity scale.
- Its just a more convenient way of representing intensity.
- It is easier to work with logarithms in physical calculation related to sound.
- There is not much difference between them and both can be used to classify the loudness of a sound.
- Because our ears perceive the frequency of a sound wave logarithmically.
What happens to the energy of a sound as it spreads out in a medium?
- The energy spreads out over larger spheres centered at the source, hence there is a reduction in the intensity of the sound. The sound energy is eventually lost to the medium in the form of friction and heat.
- The energy spreads out over larger spheres which results in the reduction in the intensity of the sound only.
- The energy of the sound is conserved only the intensity drops at larger distances from the source.
- As the sound intensity dies out over larger distances from the source it gets transferred to chemical potential energy of the molecules in the medium.
- Similar to how energy is transferred from potential to kinetic energy in an oscillating spring, the energy of a sound wave is also transferred between the kinetic and potential energy of the molecules in the medium.
