Not a homework... simple curiosity by trying to know this a bit better in order to learn and understand possible effects of sound to marine mammals auditory systems.
In sea water, at distance of 1m from a localized sound source, you measure the intensity level as 237 dB.
How far away from the...
Hello!
I'm was wondering if there is anyone that could help a Marine Biologist finding a "simple" way to calculate the sound amplitude degradation with the increasing distance. For example a source produces a sound of 237 dB re 1μPa at 1m (x) and the speed of sound in the water is 1500m/s (y)...
