Distance between Source and Barrier given Noise Reduction in Decibels Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Horizontal Distance = (20*Height of the Barrier Wall^2)/(Wavelength of Sound Wave*10^(Noise Reduction/10))
R = (20*h_w^2)/(λ*10^(N/10))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Horizontal Distance - (Measured in Meter) - The Horizontal Distance refers to the instantaneous distance cover by an object in a projectile motion horizontally.
Height of the Barrier Wall - (Measured in Meter) - The Height of the Barrier Wall refers to the vertical distance from its base to its top edge.
Wavelength of Sound Wave - (Measured in Meter) - The Wavelength of Sound Wave refers to the distance between successive points of identical phase, such as between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions.
Noise Reduction - (Measured in Decibel) - The Noise Reduction refers to the process of removing noise from a signal.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Height of the Barrier Wall: 3.1 Meter --> 3.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Wavelength of Sound Wave: 0.6 Meter --> 0.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Noise Reduction: 25 Decibel --> 25 Decibel No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R = (20*h_w^2)/(λ*10^(N/10)) --> (20*3.1^2)/(0.6*10^(25/10))

Evaluating ... ...

R = 1.01298294380727

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.01298294380727 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.01298294380727 ≈ 1.012983 Meter <-- Horizontal Distance
