35 2007 PHYS 2 EXAM Use the following information to answer Questions 8 11. Two sound engineers are testing the acoustics of an outdoor performance area. The area consists of a covered stage and open-air seating area, as shown in Figure 3. The width of the stage opening is 4.0 m. seating covered stage not to scale 4.0 m X Z small loudspeaker against wall Figure 3 The sound engineers use two signals in turn, one of 200 Hz and one of 5000 Hz, from the small loudspeaker centrally located at the rear of the stage. The sound intensity level at the centre of the seating area (point X) with either of the frequencies is 60 db, where 0 db corresponds to a sound intensity of 1.0 10 12 W m 2, I 0. Question 8 What is the sound intensity, in W m 2, at point X? Y W m 2 The sound engineers measure the sound intensity level of the 200 Hz and 5000 Hz signals in turn at point Y, and Þnd the levels are different. Question 9 a. Which of the frequencies will be louder? b. Give an explanation for this. 1 + 2 = SECTION B DETAILED STUDY 3 continued TURN OVER

2007 PHYS 2 EXAM 36 The signal strength of the 5000 Hz signal is measured at X, and is found to be still 60 db. The engineers then reduce the output of the small loudspeaker so that the sound intensity level at X is now 51 db. Question 10 Which one of the following (A D) best gives the ratio of the sound intensity (W m 2 ) at point X before and after the reduction? A. 60:51 B. 9:1 C. 8:1 D. 3:1 With the sound intensity level at X still 60 db, measurements are now taken at point Z, twice the distance from the small loudspeaker as point X. Assume that the sound spreads out equally in all directions. Question 11 Which one of the following (A D) will be the best estimate of the sound intensity level (db) at point Z? A. 30 db B. 54 db C. 57 db D. 66 db END OF QUESTION AND ANSWER BOOK
