You double your distance from a sound source that is radiating equally in all directions. what happens to the intensity of the sound? it reduces to a. one-fourth its original value. b. one-eighth its original value. c. one-sixteenth its original value. d. none of the above

a. one-fourth its original value.

Explanation:

Sound is threated as a spherical wave. The intensity of the sound is inversely proportional to the area of ​​the wavefront (). Therefore, it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) to the sound source. So, if you double your distance, the intensity of the sound reduces to one-fourth its original value.
