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.

if i am correct, your answer choices are:

a. the temperature remains constant

b. the temperature increases at a constant rate

c. heat flows at a constant rate into the system

d. heat flows at a constant rate out of the system

e. no heat flows into or out of the system

if so, then the answer is e. no heat flows into or out of the system.
