As the distance of a sound wave from its source quadruples, how is the intensity changed?

Through the 1/r law, it was concluded that for the sound intensity or pressure is directly proportional to distance or radius. That is,
                                 p = k/r 
where k is the proportionality constant. If the distance of a sound wave is quadrupled then, the intensity of the sound is decreased to 1/4 of its original value.

Answer: Hello mate!

Here we have a sound wave, which expands itself like a sphere that starts in the source.

the model that describes the intensity of the wave with respect of the distance to the source is:

A(r) = A₀/(4πr^2)

where A₀ is the initial intensity, π is 3.14159265 and r is the distance to the source.

then if you quadriply the distance, you now have:

A(4r) = A₀/(4π(4r)^2) = A₀/(4π16r^2) = A(r)/16

this means that if you quadruply the distance to the source, the intensity of the sound wave is 16 times smaller, this is because the intensity decreases with the distance squared.

Average wavelength of radio waves​
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Radio waves have frequencies as high as 300 gigahertz(GHz)to as low as 30 hertz(Hz).At 300 GHz the corresponding wavelength is 1mm and at 30Hz is 10,000 km

A force of 1.5 × 102 N is exerted on a charge of 1.4 × 10–7 C that is traveling at an angle of 75° to a magnetic field.
Marysya12 [62]

Option (B) is correct.The magnetic field strength=8.5 x 10² T

Explanation:

the magnetic force Fm is given by

Fm= q V B sinθ

q= charge=1.4 x 10⁻⁷ C

v= velocity= 1.3 x 10⁶ m/s

B= magnetic field strength

Fm= magnetic force= 1.5 x 10² N

θ=75°

so 1.5 x 10²=(1.4 x 10⁻⁷) (1.3 x 10⁶ ) (B) sin75

B=8.5 x 10² T

If the absolute temperature of a gas is 600 K, the temperature in degrees Celsius is: A. 705°C. B. 873°C. C. 273°C. D. 327°C
zlopas [31]

Answer:

D). 327 ^0 C

Explanation:

As we know that temperature scale is linear so we will have

\frac{^0C - 0}{100 - 0} = \frac{K - 273}{373 - 273}

now we have

\frac{^0 C - 0}{100} = \frac{K - 273}{100}

so the relation between two scales is given as

^0 C = K - 273

now we know that in kelvin scale the absolute temperature is 600 K

so now we have

T = 600 - 273 = 327 ^0 C

so correct answer is

D). 327 ^0 C

Why does a heater having low resistance heating coils get heated more?​
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: If you use a very small resistance AND the circuit design is such that the voltage drop is across the resistance of the heating-wire-circuit, [nothing else in the circuit is limiting current flow] you will get more heating. That's what we have in a heat anticipator internal-nichrome-wire-heater device.

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a thi
Drupady [299]

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a third quarter moon are the following

Explanation:

  • After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.

waning gibbous phase

  • The waning gibbous phase occurs between the full moon and third quarter phases. The last quarter moon (or a half moon) is when half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waning gibbous phase.

Time takes by the moon to go through all the phases

about 29.5 days

  • It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).
  • At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. Then we see only a crescent. At new, the moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset, and we don't see any of the illuminated side!
