Given that i0=10−12 watts/meter2, what is the intensity of a sound for which the decibel level of the sound measures 148? round off your answer to three decimal places.

Sound intensity is 630.95 W/m².

Explanation:

It is given that,

The decibel level of the sound, I(dB) = 148

Sound intensity level is given by :

After solving above equation using calculator we get,

So, the intensity of a sound is 630.95 W/m². Hence, this is the required solution.

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle  

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.

the duration of a photographic flash is related to an rc time constant, which is 0.100 μs for a certain camera.
