You are trying to overhear a juicy conversation, but from your distance of 20.0 m , it sounds like only an average whisper of 30

.0 dB . So you decide to move closer to give the conversation a sound level of 80.0 dB instead?

Answer:

r₂ = 0.2 m

Explanation:

given,

distance = 20 m

sound of average whisper = 30 dB

distance moved closer = ?

new frequency = 80 dB

using formula

\beta = 10 log(\dfrac{I_1}{I_0})

   I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²

now,

30 = 10 log(\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}})

\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}}= 10^3

I_1= 10^{-8}\ W/m^2

to hear the whisper sound = 80 dB

80 = 10 log(\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}})

\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}}= 10^8

I_2= 10^{-4}\ W/m^2

we know intensity of sound is inversely proportional to square of distances

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

\dfrac{10^{-8}}{10^{-4}}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{20^2}

10^{-4}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{20^2}

  r₂ = 0.2 m

How does the search for exoplanets help us describe how science requires creativity?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

As the planets are very small and dark in comparison with stars, it makes them very hard to be found from earth.

Explanation:

Astronomy, of course, has a solution for this. As astronomers can't observe planets directly, they decided to observe the stars and search for the effects that planets have on them.

There are many ways of observing the exoplanets: Radial Velocity, Transit Photometry, Microlensing, Astrometry, Direct Imaging, etc.

Before all of this, scientist had to find ways to prove their theories. Most of their time they have spent in giving the creative answers.

Science and creativity are very much connected when we speak about the development of science. Rationality and creativity always go together.

In order to create an idea that other people will consider useful, it is important to use creativity. As no one has the exact answer when it comes to science, the adventure is to research the unknown.

If the resistance is not changed but the voltage is increased, what happens to the current
julsineya [31]

We know that According to Ohm's Law :

Current passing through a Conductor is directly proportional to the Voltage over a given Resistance.

⇒ V ∝ I

⇒ V = I × R

If Resistance is not changed and Voltage is increased, Based on Ohm's law we can conclude that Current flowing will also increase, because Voltage is directly proportional to Current.
