Problema Solution

You are attending a very loud concert. To avoid ear damage, you decide to move farther from the stage. Sound intensity is given by the formula, I=k/d squared, where k is a constant and d is the distance from listener to source of sound. Determine an expression for the decrease in sound intensity if you move x metres farther from the stage.

Answer provided by our tutors

Use the formula l=k/d  where d is distance from the stage, so if you move X meters away you get

l=k/(d*x) So Loud=k/(distance from stage initially * x meters)
