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

    A)  1000                                     

    B)  10000                  

    C)  10                         

    D)         100

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let intensity of sound be \[I\] and \[I\] Loudness of sound initially                 \[{{\beta }_{1}}=10\log \left( \frac{I}{{{I}_{0}}} \right)\] Later,    \[{{\beta }_{2}}=10\log \left( \frac{I}{{{I}_{0}}} \right)\] Given,   \[{{\beta }_{2}}-{{\beta }_{1}}=20\] \[\therefore \]  \[20=10\log \left( \frac{I}{I} \right)\] \[\therefore \]  \[I=100I\]
