A surface receiving sound is moved from its original position to a position three times farther away from the source of the soun

vazorg [7]

Answer:

c. nine times as low.

Explanation:

Sound intensity is defined as the acoustic power transferred by a sound wave per unit of normal area to the direction of propagation:

$I\propto \frac{1}{A}$

Since the sound wave has a spherical wavefront of radius r, then the area is given by:

$A=4\pi r^2$

Here r is the distance from the source of the sound. Thus sound intensity decreases as:

$I\propto \frac{1}{4\pi r^2}\\\\I'\propto \frac{1}{4\pi r'^2}\\\\I'\propto \frac{1}{4\pi (3r)^2}\\\\I'\propto \frac{1}{9} \frac{1}{4\pi r^2}\\\\I'\propto \frac{1}{9} I$
