Intensity level 200 cm from a source of sound is 80 dB. If there is no loss of acoustic power in air and intensity of threshold hearing is 1012 Wm2 then, what is the intensity level at a distance of 4000 cm from source

a
Zero
b
54 dB
c
64 dB
d
44 dB

detailed solution

Correct option is B

I∝1r2⇒I2I1=r12r22=22(40)2=1400⇒I1=400I2Intensity level at point 1, L1=10log10I1I0and intensity at point 2, L2=10log10I2I0∴L1−L2=10logI1I2=10log10(400)⇒L1−L2=10×2.602=26L2=L1−26=80−26=54 dB
