How much intense is 80 dB sound in comparision to 40 dB ?
Options
- A10^2
- B10^4
- C2
- D1 2
Correct answer
B. 10^4
Step-by-step solution
B ₁=10 ₁₀ ( I ₁ I ₀ ) and B ₂=10 ₁₀ ( I ₂ I ₀ ) Given, B ₁=80 ~dB , ~B ₂=40 ~dB 80=10 ₁₀ ( I ₁ I ₀ ) or I ₁ I ₀ =10^8 and 40=10 ₁₀ ( I ₂ I ₀ ) or I ₂ I ₀ =10^4 Hence, I ₁ I ₂ =10^4
