What is sound level for intensity of 10^–6 W/m²?

1. 50 dB 

2. 60 dB

3. 70 dB 

4. 80 dB

A : The propagation of sound in air should be an isothermal process.

R : As air is bad conductor of heat, its temperature does not change by compression or expansion.

Given below are two statements:

A source of sound placed at the open end of a resonance column sends an acoustic wave of pressure amplitude ${\rho }_0$ inside the tube. If the atmospheric pressure is ${\rho }_A$ , then the ratio of maximum and minimum pressure at the closed end of the tube will be :

1. $\frac{({\rho }_A+{\rho }_0)}{({\rho }_A-{\rho }_0)}$

2. $\frac{({\rho }_A+2{\rho }_0)}{({\rho }_A-2{\rho }_0)}$

3. $\frac{{\rho }_A}{{\rho }_A}$

4. $\frac{\left({\rho }_A+\frac{1}{2}{\rho }_0\right)}{\left({\rho }_A-\frac{1}{2}{\rho }_0\right)}$

Assertion: The change in air pressure effect the speed of sound.

Reason: The speed of sound in a gas is proportional to square root of pressure.

Assertion: The change in air pressure effect the speed of sound.

Reason: The speed of sound in a gas is proportional to square root of pressure.

1. 2

2. 4

3. $\frac{1}{2}$

4. 1
