A) \[10\]
B) \[100\]
C) \[1000\]
D) \[2\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The intensity level in sound is given by \[L={{\log }_{10}}\frac{I}{{{I}_{0}}}\] where \[{{I}_{0}}\] is initial intensity. Given, \[{{L}_{A}}=30+{{L}_{B}}\] \[\therefore \] \[{{\log }_{10}}\frac{{{I}_{A}}}{{{I}_{0}}}=30+{{\log }_{10}}\frac{{{I}_{B}}}{{{I}_{0}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{\log }_{10}}\frac{{{I}_{A}}}{{{I}_{B}}}=3\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{I}_{A}}}{{{I}_{B}}}={{10}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{I}_{A}}=1000{{I}_{B}}\] Hence, sound A is 1000 times more intense than sound B.
