Answer:

The correct answer is part 'c' 160 dB

Explanation:

When noise levels of different intensities are superimposed the resultant intensity is given by the equation

L_{avg}=20log(\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{N}(10^{\frac{L_{i}}{20}}))\\

where,

L_{i} is the intensity of a general sound level

Since we have 10000 fans each producing sound of 80dB thus the resultant intensity is given using the above formula as

L_{avg}=20log(\frac{1}{10000}\sum_{i=1}^{10000}(10^{\frac{80}{20}}))\\

\therefore L_{eq}=160dB

Based on the second law of thermodynamics, how would you expect a system to change over time?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Endless movement between hot and cold will eventually mean the end of the universe. This law is about inefficiency, degeneration and decay. <u>The second law can be expressed in several ways, the simplest being that heat will naturally flow from a hotter to a colder body. At its heart is a property of thermodynamic systems called entropy.</u> Entropy basically means an increase in randomness. Hope this helps mate.

Which of the following is not a necessary condition for seeing a magnified image with a
Thepotemich [5.8K]

The option stating that the observer must be placed within the focal length is false or not a necessary condition for magnification.

Explanation:

Lens are used for magnification provided the nature of the lens is known and by positioning the object at correct position. So the object should be placed in the focal point of the lens for perfect magnification, it can also be kept within the focal point or focal length. But the object should not be kept beyond the focal length of the lens.

So among the given options, the object and image should be on the same side of the lens for magnification is true. Then the nature of lens should be converging for magnification is also true. And the most important point that the object should be placed within the focal length of the lens is the most mandatory for obtaining magnification. So the option stating that the observer must be placed within the focal length is false or not a necessary condition for magnification.
