Question:
A source of sound (1140 Hz) emits uniformly in all directions. An observer 3.09 m from the source measures a sound level of 38.2 dB. Calculate the average power output of the source.
Loudness Level of Sound:
The intensity of a sound is compared for its loudness level with respect to the threshold of frequency which is audible to human ear. The comparison is done in logarithmic scale called as decibel scale.
