A person speaking normally produces a sound of intensity 40 dB at a distance of 1 m. If the threshold intensity for reasonable audibility is 20 dB. The maximum distance at which he can heard cleary is

A

4 m

B

5 m

C

10 m

D

20 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`40=10log(10)((I_1)/(I_0))`
`(I_1)/(I_0)=10^4`
Also, `20=10log_(10)((I_2)/(I_0))`
`implies(I_2)/(I_0)=10^2` .(ii)
`(I_2)/(I_1)=10^-2=(r_1^2)/(r_2^2)`
`r_2=100r_1^2impliesr_2=10m`

Airport authority has made the regulation that maximum allowable intensity level detected by a microphone situated at the end of 1630 m long runway can be 100 dB. An aeroplane when flying at a height of 200 m produces an intensity level of 100 dB on ground. while taking off, this aeroplane makes an angle of 30^@ with horizontal. Find the maximum distance this aeroplane can cover on the runway, so that the regulation are not violated (assume no reflection).
