Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A compound is defined as a substance in which two or more different elements in a fixed ratio by mass combine chemically with each other.

For example, chemical formula of water is H_{2}O and it is a compound because here two atoms of hydrogen chemically combine with one atom of oxygen.

And, the ratio of these atoms is 2 : 1. A compound can be broken down into simpler substance by chemical means only.

Whereas an element is a substance that contains only same type of atoms that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

Thus, we can conclude that water is a compound because it always has two hydrogen atoms for each oxygen atom.

The sound level measured in a room by a person watching a movie on a home theater system varies from 40 dB during a quiet part t
UNO [17]

Answer:

\alpha=-3.01dB

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sound level intensity

 \triangle I=40dB-80dB

Generally the equation for  intensity level  is mathematically given by

 \alpha=10log_{10}(I/I_x)dB

Where

 I= Intensity measured

 I_x=Threshold\ of\ audibility

 I_x= 10-12 W / m2

 \alpha= 10 log10 \frac{I_1}{I_x} - 10 log10 \frac{}I_2{I_x}

 \alpha= 10 log10 \frac{I_1}{I_2}

 \alpha=10 log10\frac{40}{80}

 \alpha=-3.01dB
