JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics Question Bank Musical Sound

  • question_answer
    A spherical source of power 4 W and frequency 800 Hz is emitting sound waves. The intensity of waves at a distance 200 m is   [CPMT 1999; JIPMER 2000]

    A)            \[8\times {{10}^{-6}}\,W/{{m}^{2}}\]                            

    B)            \[2\times {{10}^{-4}}\,W/{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)            \[1\times {{10}^{-4}}\,W/{{m}^{2}}\]                            

    D)            \[4\,W/{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Intensity = \[\frac{\text{Power}}{\text{Area}}=\frac{4}{4\pi \times {{(200)}^{2}}}=7.9\times {{10}^{-6}}\]\[W/{{m}^{2}}\]
