How would the intensity of a sound wave change if you were to move 8 time further from the source? It would Select an answer increase decrease to ___ times of what it was.
Added by Stephen Y.
Step 1
So, if the amplitude becomes 8 times of the initial amplitude, the final intensity would be 64 times of the initial intensity. Show more…
