A microphone in the ocean is sensitive to sounds emitted byporpoises. To produce a usable signal, sound waves striking themicrophone must have an intensity of 10 dB. If porpoises emit soundwaves with a power of 0.010 W, how far can a porpoise be from themicrophone and still be heard? Disregard absorption of sound wavesby the water.
