Answer:
50 m
Explanation:
The relationship between the intensity of sound in dB and distance is given by the formula:
[tex]B_2=B_1+20log(\frac{R_1}{R_2} )\\\\Where \ B_2\ is \ the\ sound\ intensity\ at\ distance\ R_2\ and\\B_1\ is \ the\ sound\ intensity\ at\ distance\ R_1\ \\\\Given\ that: B_1=100\ dB, R_1=5\ m, B_2=80\ dB\\\\B_2=B_1+20log(\frac{R_1}{R_2} )\\\\80=100+20log(\frac{5}{R_2} )\\\\-20=20log(\frac{5}{R_2} )\\\\log(\frac{5}{R_2} )=-1\\\\\frac{5}{R_2}=10^{-1}\\\\\frac{5}{R_2}=0.1\\\\R_2=5/0.1=50\ m[/tex]
