If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by a multiplicative factor of 4, the intensity changes.

Intensity of sound is the sound which is perpendicular to sound wave propogation per unit area. It is dependent on the Surface of source sound.

Intensity is the Power per unit area. Its SI unit is Watt/m².

As we move away from a source of sound, the sound starts to diminish. This is due to the decreasing sound intensity with distance.

It can also be understood by the fact that on increasing distance, the Power radiated by the source spreads over a larger area. Hence, the Intensity decreases gradually.

Since, Intensity is proportional to the square of the distance.

Hence, on doubling the distance, Intensity reduces to one fourth of the initial intensity or reduces by a multiplicative factor of 4.

Power is defined by the rate of work done by the object. Statement D represents the correct definition of Power.

<h3>What is Power?</h3>

Power can be defined as the transfer of energy from one place to another place. The rate at which this energy is transferred is called power.

In other words, the rate at which the work is done by an object is called its power. The mathematical representation of power is given as,

$P = \dfrac {\Delta W}{\Delta t}$

Here, P is the power, $\Delta W$ is the change in energy or work done and $\Delta t$ change in time.

The Power can be written in SI units as Watt or J/s.

Hence we can conclude that the power is the rate at which work is accomplished. Statement D is the correct representation of Power.
