If the intensity increased by a factor of 20, byhow may decibels is the sound level increased?A. 18B. 13C. 9D. 7 |

Answer» Correct Answer - B Suppose for the intensity `I`, the correspongind decibel level is `beta_(1)`. When the intensity is increased to `20I`, then corresponding increase in decibels level be `beta_(2)`. Then`beta_(1)=10log(I//I_(0))` and `beta_(2)=10 log (20I//I_(0))` `:.beta_(2)-beta_(1)=10log(20I//I_(0))-10log(I//I_(0))` `=10log (20I//I)=10log 20` `=10xx1.3142=13.142dB~~13dB` |
