By what amount does the sound intensity decrease when the distance to the source doubles?

Physics
1 answer:
Sophie [7]4 years ago
7 0

The relationship of the two is that, the sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the source.

I α 1 / r^2

Where I = intensity and r = distance from source

From this, we can equate two conditions 1 and 2:

I1 / I2 = r2^2 / r1^2

So when r2 = 2 r1, the intensity becomes:

I1 / I2 = (2r1 / r1)^2

I1 / I2 = 4

I2 = I1 / 4

<span>So when we double the distance of the source, the intensity of the sound reduces by a factor of 4 (divided by 4).</span>

l o which of the following can move from one atom to another A. protons Msideus. B. neutrons C. electrons the nucleus
Tanzania [10]
Electrons can move from one atom to another. 

When a lot of them are doing it at the same time,
you have an electric current.

We asked around here at Brainly, and nobody knows
what an "Msideus" is, but we all know that there aren't
any of them in atoms.

Answer the questions.
Studentka2010 [4]

a) The wind is generated because there are different values of pressure in the amtophera. That is, it is generated due to a pressure difference between two atmospheric points. Generally the movement is performed when the air travels from the highest pressure point, to the lowest pressure point. This is also a direct cause of different types of wind speeds.

b) If the cloud moves from one direction to another, it will indicate that from the starting point the pressure is higher, and the point towards which it is directed, the pressure is lower. If we place this on a Cartesian plane with reference to the cardinal points, we can know the approximate place or area where the pressures are different.

A light wave passes through an aperture (that is, a narrow slit). When it does so, the degree to which the wave spreads out will
crimeas [40]

Explanation:

Single slit diffraction

Diffraction is the phenomenon of spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects. Diffraction occurs when the size of the aperture or obstacle is of the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of the incident wave. For very small aperture sizes, the vast majority of the wave is blocked. in case of  large apertures the wave passes by or through the obstacle without any significant diffraction.

What could you do to change the volume of a gas?
Lorico [155]
The ONLY way to change the volume of a sample of gas is to transfer it to a container with different volume.
Simply changing its temperature or pressure in the same jar won't do it. Any amount of gas always fills whatever container you keep it in.
