A person talking produces a sound level of 65 dB at a distance of 50 cm suppose the sound spreads out uniformly over a sphere centered on the person how much power in sound is the person producing?

A person talking produces a sound level of 65 dB at a distance of 50 cm suppose the sound spreads out uniformly over a sphere centered on the person how much power in sound is the person producing? Solution dB = 10 log(I/Io) 65 = 10 log (I / 10^-12) I = 3.16*10^-6 W/m^2 power = I*A = 3.16*10^-6*4pi*0.5^2 = 9.93*10^-6 W .
