Correct answer: A. 10 dB
Explanation
The decibel scale is logarithmic: noise level = 10 log₁₀ (I/I₀). If the intensity I becomes I/10, the level changes by 10 log₁₀ (1/10) = 10 × (−1) = −10. Hence the noise level falls by 10 dB.डेसिबल मापक्रम लघुगणकीय है: शोर स्तर = 10 log₁₀ (I/I₀)। यदि तीव्रता I घटकर I/10 हो जाए, तो स्तर में परिवर्तन = 10 log₁₀ (1/10) = 10 × (−1) = −10। अतः शोर स्तर 10 dB घट जाएगा।More People, Development and Environment questions
