Which property of sound waves decreases as the square of the distance from the source increases? Intensity is the answer.
Adi S.
The intensity of a sound $s$ varies inversely with the square of the distance $d$ from the sound. This can be modeled by the equation $s d^{2}=k,$ where $k$ is a constant. If you decrease your distance from the source of a sound by half, by what factor will the intensity of the sound increase? Explain your reasoning.
