The wind Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.
Answer: Δβ (dB) = -13.1dB
Explanation:
The intensity of sound is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
I ∝ 1/r²
I₁/I₂= r₂²/r₁² .....1
When the listener increases his distance from the source by a factor of 4.49.
Then,
r₂/r₁= 4.49
From equation 1
I₁/I₂ = (4.49)²
I₁/I₂ = 20.16
I₂/I₁ = 1/20.16
The change in sound intensity in dB can be given as
Δβ (dB) = 10 log(I₂/l₁) = 10log(1/20.6) = -13.1dB
The answer is A and E.
Hope this helps! :D
