Randall D. Knight β€” Traveling Waves: Problem 76

A loudspeaker on a pole is radiating $100\text{ W}$ of sound energy in all directions. You are walking directly toward the speaker at $0.80\text{ m/s}$. When you are $20\text{ m}$ away, what are (a) the sound intensity level and (b) the rate ($\text{dB/s}$) at which the sound intensity level is increasing? Hint: Use the chain rule and the relationship $\log_{10} x = \ln x / \ln 10$.

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Find: (a) the sound intensity level and; (b) the rate
