There are `10` sound sources each producing intensity I at a point independently. They are incoherent. Average intensity of sound at that point will be:

A

`I`

B

`10I`

C

`100I`

D

`0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
since the sources are incoherent there will be no sustained interference.
Hence at the given point,
Average intensity `=I_0=I_1+I_2+I_3+`….`+I_(10)=10I`
