I believe that the answer to the question asked  above is the following

sound intensity = sound power / (4 pi R2<span>)
</span>
so if you decrease the intensity by a factor of 2 the sound wave will also decrease by a factor of 2.


Hope my answer would be a great help for you.    If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.

The amplitude of a sound wave must be decreased by a factor of √2

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the speed of wave and intensity of wave formula as follows:

\large {\boxed {v = \lambda f}}

<em>f = frequency of wave ( Hz )</em>

<em>v = speed of wave ( m/s )</em>

<em>λ = wavelength ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

\large {\boxed {I = 2 \pi^2 A^2 f^2 \rho v}}

<em>I = intensity of wave ( W/m² )</em>

<em>A = amplitude of wave ( m )</em>

<em>f = frequeny of wave ( Hz )</em>

<em>ρ = density of medium ( kg/m³ )</em>

<em>v = speed of wave ( m/s )</em>

<em>Let's tackle the problem!</em>

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

Amplitude of First Wave = A

Intensity of First Wave = I

Intensity of Second Wave = ¹/₂ I

<u>Asked:</u>

Amplitude of Second Wave = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

I : I' = 2 \pi^2 A^2 f^2 \rho v : 2 \pi^2 (A')^2 f^2 \rho v

I : I' = A^2 : (A')^2

I : \frac{1}{2}I = A^2 : (A')^2

2 : 1 = A^2 : (A')^2

2(A')^2 = A^2

(A')^2 = \frac{1}{2}A^2

A' = \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

<em>The amplitude of a sound wave must be decreased by a factor of </em><em>√2</em>

Energy that flows from somthing with a higher temperature to something with a lower
spayn [35]

Answer:

Heat Transfer

Explanation:

This is called heat transfer. Heat transfer is the process in which energy flows from a matter that is higher in heat to a matter that is cooler, until the two matters reach the same temperature.

All of the following are factors affecting flow rate except what?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

c. Vessel side holes

Explanation:

  • The "Poiseuille formula" which is given by \\\begin{aligned} \small Q& =  \small \frac{\pi r^4}{8 \eta}.\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta L}\\\end{aligned} describes the volumetric flow rate (\small Q) through tubular sections.
  • Here, \Delta P,\,\, \Delta L,\,\, r,\,\, \eta represent the injection pressure difference, the length of the section, the radius of the section and the viscosity index of the fluid that flows through the section respectively.
  • With this, one can confirm that all the factors except the vessel side holes affect the flow rate.
  • Side holes, however, are a factor that could give a measure of how much volume would flow to a particular location. In such a situation the flow rate remains unchanged and one location would receive a lower volume (not the whole) as some volume would spill out at the side holes.
