A jet plane at take-off can produce sound of intensity 10.0 W 1m2 at 30.0 m away.

Question:

A jet plane at take-off can produce sound of intensity 10.0 W 1m2 at 30.0 m away. But you prefer the tranquil sound of normal conversation, which is 1.0µW/m2. Assume that the plane behaves like a point source of sound.
(a) What is the closest distance you should live from the airport runway to preserve your peace of mind?
(b) What intensity from the jet does your friend experience if she lives twice as far from the runway as you do?
