Answer

1.20 mm

3Question

Wave pressure — formula?

Answer

P = A sin(ωt - kx)

4Question

Sound Pressure Level — definition?

Answer

Microscale measurement of sound pressure relative to reference.

5Question

Reverberation Time (T₆₀) — meaning?

Answer

Time SPL decays by 60 dB in a room.

6Question

Frequency Weightings — purpose?

Answer

A-weighting mimics human hearing sensitivity.

7Question

Sound Power (Lw) — concept?

Answer

Total acoustic energy emitted by a source.

8Question

Noise Barriers — primary function?

Answer

Reduce sound via reflection, absorption, diffraction.

9Question

Vibration Acceleration — formula?

Answer

a_peak = ω² x_max; RMS = a_peak/√2.
