Question: 3 ( a ) The external Lecture hall wall is 3 meters by 1 0 meters in area, facing a car park at a distance

3(a) The external Lecture hall wall is 3 meters by 10 meters in area, facing a car park at a distance of 10m from the line of traffic. An octave -band analysis at the lecture wall window gave the following.
The construction consist of a 250mm cavity wall containing a single glazed window. The sound reduction indices are 55dB for the cavity wall and 44dB for the window both at 1000Hz.
(a) Calculate the Insulation needed for each frequency [2 marks]
(b) Calculate for 1000Hz the maximum area of window, if the necessary insulation at 1000Hz must be 50 dB [8 marks]
