Which of the following statements are incorrect?

A

Wave pulses in strings are transverse waves.

B

Sound waves in air are transverse waves of compression and rarefaction.

C

The speed of sound in air at `20^@C` is twice that at `5^@C`.

D

A 60dB sound has twice the intensity of a 30 dB sound.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C, D

`vpropsqrtT`
`60dB=10log((I_1)/(I_0))`
`30dB=10log((I_2)/(I_0))`
`30=10log((I_1)/(I_2))implies(I_1)/(I_2)ne2`
