If the intensity level by 15 identical engines in a garage is 100 dB, what is the intensity level generated by each one of these
1 answer:
To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity.
By definition the intensity is given by the equation
Where,
I = Intensity of Sound
= Intensity of Reference
At this case we have that 15 engines produces 15 times the reference intensity, that is
And the total mutual intensity is 100 dB, so we should
Therefore each one of these engines produce D. 88dB.

The electrical potential energy of a charge q located at a point at potential V is given by
Therefore, if the charge must move between two points at potential V1 and V2, the difference in potential energy of the charge will be
In our problem, the electron (charge e) must travel across a potential difference V. So the energy it will lose traveling from the metal to the detector will be equal to
Therefore, if we want the electron to reach the detector, the minimum energy the electron must have is exactly equal to the energy it loses moving from the metal to the detector:
