8 Loudness of sound in decibels (dB) is measured using the formula Loudness = 10 lg( I I 0 ) where I is the intensity of the sound in question, and I0 is the intensity of threshold sound, or sound that can barely be perceived. (a) A gunshot from a 0.22 rifle has an intensity of 2.5 1013 I0. Calculate the loudness in decibels. [2] (b) The Land Transport Authority of Singapore has decided to install noise barrier at Toh Guan Road, next to the MRT train track. Suppose the average readings taken on site was 90 dB and I0 is given to be 10 12 watt per square metre, what was the average intensity of the noise, in terms [2] of watt per square metre? 13 8(a) 2.5 10 I o Loudness = 10 lg( ) Io = 10 lg(2.5 1013 ) = 134dB I 90 = 10 lg( ) Io 9 = lg( I ) Io M1 M1 A1
