How does the intensity of a sound wave change if the distance from the
source is increased by a factor of 3?
O A. The intensity decreases by a factor of 3.
O B. The intensity decreases by a factor of 9.
O c. The intensity increases by a factor of 9.
O D. The intensity increases by a factor of 3.

Respuesta :

Answer: C-  The intensity increases by a factor 9

Explanation: The intensity of a sound wave follows an inverse square law, that means that it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: so  the new distance is the intensity will increase by a factor 9.
