For a sound source of intensity I W/m 2 , corresponding sound level is B 0 decibel. If the intensity is increased to 4I, new sound level becomes approximately:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
If intensity is doubled the sound level is increased by 3.0 dB. i.e., it becomes 
decibels. Hence when intensity is increased four times, level becomes 
decibels.
