Pomona Sprout is teaching about mandrake roots at Hogwarts when she pulls one screaming from the ground. The mandrake screams at a decibel level of 93.00dB for students located 1.750m away. a) What would be the decibel level 5.000m away where Hermione is standing? b) If the scream had a frequency of 2523Hz, what would the temperature of the air need to be for the wave to have a wavelength of 0.1333m?
