Answer: 1.25

Explanation:

The ratio of the amplitude of the sound can be calculated using the wave intensity by squaring the amplitude of the two wave particles.

Let the sound level be S2 and S1 and intensities be I1 and I2

Difference in sound level(S) = S2 - S1 = 2dB

Using the relationship between difference in sound level and Intensity

S2 - S1 = 10log(I2 ÷ I1)

Note : Intensity is the square of the amplitude of sound

Therefore,

I1 = A1^2 and I2 = A2^2

Substituting the values into the equation:

S2 - S1 = 10log (I2 ÷ I1)

2dB = 10log (A2^2 ÷ A1^2)

2dB = 10log(A2 ÷ A1)^2

2 dB= 20log(A2 ÷ A1)

2÷20 = log (A2 ÷ A1)

0.1 = log (A2 ÷ A1)

(A2 ÷ A1) = 10^0.1

A2/A1 = 1.25

babymother [125]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

When a wire with a current is placed in a magnetic field, electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy. The transformation happens when the magnetic field produced by the current causes the wire to move.
