Homework Statement
An electronic point source emits sound isotropically at a frequency of 3000 Hz and a power of 34 watts. A small microphone has an area of 0.74 cm2 and is located 158 meters from the point source.
a) What is the sound intensity at the microphone ?
b) What is the power intercepted by the microphone?
Homework Equations
I=(power)/(area)
Avg power=(1/2)(mu)(v)(w^2)A^2 (not sure what all these mean)
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried Intensity=(power)/(area) but that was wrong. I had converted the area to m^2 too…any ideas?
