Questions
The intensity of a sound wave gets reduced by 20% on passing through a slab. The reduction in intensity on passage through two such consecutive slabs is
a
40%
b
36 %
c
30 %
d
50%
detailed solution
Correct option is B
Intensity after passing through one slabI'=I-20100×I=I-I5=4I5So, intensity after passing through two slabsI"=I'20100×I'=4I'5=16I25 ∴ %decrease=I-16I25I×100=36%Talk to our academic expert!
