Answer:
[tex]\frac{r_i}{1.77} m[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that
At starting separated = 1.20m
And the increase in background noise by Δβ = 5 dB, due to which the level of sound also rises
Based on the above information, the separation rf that is needed is shown below:
As we know that
[tex]I_f = I_o \times 10^{\frac{\beta}{10} }\\\\I_f = I_i \times 10^{0.5}\\\\I_f = 3.16 \times I_i\\\\I \alpha \frac{1}{r^2} \\\\\frac{r_i^2}{r_f^2} = 3.16\\\\r_f = \frac{\sqrt{r_i^2}}{{\sqrt3.16}} \\\\= \frac{r_i}{1.77} m[/tex]
Hence, the separation r_f i.e. required is [tex]\frac{r_i}{1.77} m[/tex]
We simply applied the above equation so that the correct separation could come
