A sound absorber attenuates the sound level by 20 dB. The intensity decreases by a factor of

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

L 1 = 10  log  I 1 I 0 ; L 2 = 10  log  I 2 I 0

L 1 - L 2 = 10  log  I 1 I 0 - 10  log  I 2 I 0

or Δ L = 10  log  I 1 I 2 or   20  dB  = 10  log  I 1 I 2

or 10 2 = I 1 I 2 or I 2 = I 1 100 .
