Question

A sound absorber the sound level by 20 dB. The intensity decreases by a factor of

  1. 1000    
  2. 10000    
  3. 10    
  4. 100    

The correct answer is: 100


    Let intensity of sound be I and I’.
    Loudness of sound initially
    beta subscript 1 end subscript equals 10 log invisible function application open parentheses fraction numerator I over denominator I subscript 0 end subscript end fraction close parentheses
    Later,
    beta subscript 2 end subscript equals 10 log invisible function application open parentheses fraction numerator I to the power of ´ end exponent over denominator I subscript 0 end subscript end fraction close parentheses
    Given, beta subscript 2 end subscript minus beta subscript 1 end subscript equals 20
    therefore 20 equals log invisible function application open parentheses fraction numerator I to the power of ´ end exponent over denominator I end fraction close parentheses
    I to the power of ´ end exponent equals 100 I

    A police car moving at 22 blank m s to the power of negative 1 end exponent, changes a motorcyclist. The police man sounds his horn at 176 Hz, while both of them move towards a stationary siren of frequency 165 Hz. Calculate the speed of the motorcycle, if it is given that he does not observe any beats.
