4 4 Sound is measured in decibels according to the formula = 0 lg10 P Pd , where d represents the noise rating in decibels, P represents the intensity of the sound and P0 represents the intensity of the weakest sound that the human ear can hear. A thunderclap has a noise rating of 120 decibels and a vacuum cleaner has a noise rating of 80 decibels. Calculate the ratio of the intensity of a thunderclap to that of a vacuum cleaner.

7 12 Figure I shows the start time of dawn and end time of dusk in Helsinki, Finland, for the 12 months of the whole year (January to December). For example, on the marked day in March, as shown by the dotted line, the start time of dawn is 06 00, there is sunshine from 06 00 to 17 45, the end time of dusk is at 17 45 and there is darkness after 17 45. (Source: https://www.gaisma.com/en/location/helsinki.html) Figure I It is given that the start time of dawn is modelled by the function 56cos41 + = th π , while the end time of dusk is modelled by the function − = 6cos5 192 th π . 1h and 2h are the number of hours after midnight and t is the time in months from the start of the year. (i) State the amplitude of 2h . [1] (ii) It is believed that the best period of the year for tourists to visit Helsinki is when the days are extremely long, that is, the difference in start time of dawn and end time of dusk is at least 14 hours. Use Figure I to find the best period of the year to visit Helsinki. [2] (iii) It is also known that the start time of dawn in Beijing, China, is modelled by the function + = 6cos2 3 2 11 3 th π . Calculate the values of t when dawn starts at 06 15 in Beijing, China.
