In this situation, how would the intensity of the sound heard vary if a person moves from a distance of 10 meters from the source to a distance of 20 meters from the source?
  1.The sound would have about  the intensity 20 m from the source that it has 10 m from the source.
  2.The sound would have about  the intensity 20 m from the source that it has 10 m from the source.
  3.The sound would have about the same intensity 20 m from the source that it has 10 m from the source.
  4.The sound would have about twice the intensity 20 m from the source that it has 10 m from the source.
