Based on the calculations, the ratio of the intensity of Ir to Ip is equal to 50.12.
How to find the ratio of the intensity?
- Let the intensity of the power mower be Ip.
- Let the intensity of the rock music be Ir.
Mathematically, sound intensity level can be calculated by using this formula:
[tex]\beta = 10 log(\frac{I}{I_{ref}} )[/tex]
Where:
I is the intensity of the sound.
Making I the subject of formula, we have:
I = Io × [tex]10^{\frac{\beta }{10} }[/tex]
For Ip, we have:
Ip = Io × [tex]10^{\frac{104 }{10} }[/tex]
Ip = Io × [tex]10^{10.4}[/tex]
For Ir, we have:
Ir = Io × [tex]10^{\frac{121 }{10} }[/tex]
Ir = Io × [tex]10^{12.1}[/tex]
Now, we can find the ratio of the intensity:
Ir/Ip = Io × [tex]10^{12.1}[/tex]/Io × [tex]10^{10.4}[/tex]
Ir/Ip = [tex]10^{12.1}[/tex]/[tex]10^{10.4}[/tex]
Ir/Ip = [tex]10^{12.1 -10.4}[/tex]
Ir/Ip = [tex]10^{1.7}[/tex]
Ir/Ip = 50.12.
