The intensity level due to two waves of the same frequency in a given medium are 1 bel and 5 bel. Then the ratio of amplitudes is

a
1 : 4
b
1 : 2
c
1 : 104
d
1 : 102

detailed solution

Correct option is D

By using L=log10II0L2−L1=log10I2I0−log10I1I05−1=log10I2I1⇒4=log10I2I1⇒I2I1=104⇒a22a12=104⇒a2a1=1021⇒a1a2=1102
