Sound Intensity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sound Intensity Level = Sound Power/Area for Sound Intensity
I = W/A
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Sound Intensity Level - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter) - The Sound Intensity Level refers to the logarithmic measure of the sound power per unit area, expressed in decibels (dB).
Sound Power - (Measured in Watt) - The Sound Power refers to the rate at which sound energy is emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit of time.
Area for Sound Intensity - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Area for Sound Intensity refers to the surface over which sound power is distributed, determining how much sound energy passes through per unit area, typically in m².

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sound Power: 1.4E-09 Watt --> 1.4E-09 Watt No Conversion Required
Area for Sound Intensity: 14 Square Meter --> 14 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

I = W/A --> 1.4E-09/14

Evaluating ... ...

I = 1E-10

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1E-10 Watt per Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1E-10 Watt per Square Meter <-- Sound Intensity Level

What is Sound Power?

Sound Power or acoustic power is the rate at which sound energy is emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit time.

How to Calculate Sound Intensity?

Sound Intensity calculator uses Sound Intensity Level = Sound Power/Area for Sound Intensity to calculate the Sound Intensity Level, The Sound Intensity formula is defined as the power carried by sound waves per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area. The SI unit of intensity, which includes sound intensity, is the watt per square meter. Sound Intensity Level is denoted by I symbol.

How to calculate Sound Intensity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Sound Intensity, enter Sound Power (W) & Area for Sound Intensity (A) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Sound Intensity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.8E-10 = 1.4E-09/14.

FAQ

What is Sound Intensity?

The Sound Intensity formula is defined as the power carried by sound waves per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area. The SI unit of intensity, which includes sound intensity, is the watt per square meter and is represented as I = W/A or Sound Intensity Level = Sound Power/Area for Sound Intensity. The Sound Power refers to the rate at which sound energy is emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit of time & The Area for Sound Intensity refers to the surface over which sound power is distributed, determining how much sound energy passes through per unit area, typically in m².

How to calculate Sound Intensity?

The Sound Intensity formula is defined as the power carried by sound waves per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area. The SI unit of intensity, which includes sound intensity, is the watt per square meter is calculated using Sound Intensity Level = Sound Power/Area for Sound Intensity. To calculate Sound Intensity, you need Sound Power (W) & Area for Sound Intensity (A). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Sound Power & Area for Sound Intensity and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Sound Intensity Level?

In this formula, Sound Intensity Level uses Sound Power & Area for Sound Intensity. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Sound Intensity Level = ((Pressure RMS^2)/(Density of Air*Velocity of Sound Wave))
Sound Intensity Level = (10^-12)*10^(Sound Level in Decibels/10)
