    A source of sound emits 200 \[\pi \]W power which is uniformly distributed over a sphere of 10 m radius. What is the loudness of sound on the surface of a sphere?

    A) 200 dB                                  

    B) 200\[\pi \] dB

    C) 120 dB                                  

    D) 120\[\pi \]dB

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Intensity of sound, \[I=\frac{P}{A}\] \[=\frac{200\pi }{2\pi \times {{(10)}^{2}}}\] \[=1\,W/{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]Loudness,             \[L=10\text{ }{{\log }_{10}}\frac{I}{{{I}_{0}}}\]                                 \[=10\text{ }{{\log }_{10}}\frac{1}{{{10}^{-12}}}\]                                 \[=10\text{ }{{\log }_{10}}{{10}^{12}}\]                                 \[=120\,dB.\]
