Intensity I of a plane wave of amplitude A , frequency f , travelling with a velocity of v in a medium of density ρ is given by , I=2π2f2A2ρv ,
we have , v=344m/s,ρ=1.2kg/m3,f=30Hz,A=6.0×10−3mm=6.0×10−6m ,
therefore , I=2×3.142×302×(6.0×10−6)2×1.2×344=2.63×10−4W/m2 ,
now sound intensity level (loudness ) is given by ,
L=log10I/I0 ,
where I0=10−12W/m2 , (zero level of intensity)
therefore , L=log102.63×10−4/10−12=log102.63×108 ,
or L=log102.63+log10108=8.419bel=84.19dB
