- The Loudness L Of A Sound Measured In Decibels Db Is Inversely Proportional To The Square Of The Distance D From 1 (15.14 KiB) Viewed 14 times
The loudness, L, of a sound (measured in decibels, dB) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, d, from the source of the sound. (It is an inverse square relationship with distance.) When a person 6 meters from a jetski, it is 80 decibels loud. How loud is the jetski when the person is 17 meters away? (enter your answer as a number or decimal with 3 sig figs) dB (Hint, take end distance divided by begin distance to get the distance ratio. Then take 1/d² to apply the inverse square law.)
