Suppose that when you’re 12 ft away from the source of a sound, it’s intensity is 3 X 10^-6 W/m^2, If you move so that you are now 6ft away from the source of the sound, what is the intensity? If you move again so that now you’re 24 ft away from the source of the sound, what is the intensity? At what point do you perceive the sound as having the highest amplitude?
Sound Intensity:
where, = sound intensity at reference distance from the sound source
= sound intensity at the other distance from the sound source
