Question

Sound wave A delivers 2 J of energy in 2 s. Sound wave B delivers 10 J of energy in 5 s. Sound wave C delivers 2 mJ of energy in 1 ms. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the sound powers of Pa, Pb, Pc of these three waves.

Answer 1

Answer:

In the order largest to smallest

Pc = Pb, Pa

Explanation:

Power = Energy expended/time

Pa = 2/2 = 1Watt

Pb = 10/5 = 2Watt

Pc = 2E-3/1E-3 = 2Watt
