The loudness l of a sound, measured in decibels, is given by l=10log10r, where r is the sound's relative intensity. suppose one person talks with a relative intensity of 10^6 or 60 decibels. how much louder would 100 people be, talking at the same intensity?

Answer

given,                              

I is the loudness of sound

I = 10 Log₁₀ r                  

r is relative intensity                    

at when relative intensity is 10⁶        

I = 60 dB                                                  

how much louder when 100 people would be talking together

I = 10 Log₁₀ r                

I = 10 Log₁₀ (10⁶ x 100)  

I = 10 Log₁₀ (10⁸)                

I = 80 dB                      

hence, the intensity will be increased by (80 dB -60 dB) 20 dB when 100 people start talking together.

i don’t know what the answer is i wish i

i believe the answer would be:

d. violin, clarinet, french horn, and tuba
