你对分贝了解多少?
分贝(decibel)dB 分贝是以美国发明家亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔(英国人,后移居美国)命名的,他因发明电话(1875年贝尔制成了实用的电话装置,1876年建起了世界上第一家电话公司。)而闻名于世。
你知道一个声音与另一个声音结合时,会产生什么结果吗?我们都知道60个苹果加60 个苹果,等于120个苹果。但是,这并不适用于以分贝来表示的声音。事实上,60分贝加60分贝只等于63分贝。
分贝对人的影响有什么?
★ 10~20分贝几乎感觉不到。
★ 20~40分贝相当于轻声说话。
★ 40~60分贝相当于室内谈话。
★ 60~70分贝有损神经。
你对分贝了解多少?
★ 70~90分贝很吵。长期在这种环境下学习和生活,会使人的神经细胞逐渐受到破坏。
★ 90~100分贝会使听力受损。
★ 100~120分贝使人难以忍受,几分钟就可暂时致聋。
一般声音在30分贝左右时,不会影响正常的生活和休息。
而达到50分贝以上时,人们有较大的感觉,很难入睡。
维塔斯的高音是105分贝,而飞机起飞时螺旋桨发出的声音才110分贝!
