Consider ten identical sources of sound,all emitting the same frequency but having random phase angles. If the average intensity of each source is $I_0$,what will be the average resultant intensity $I$ due to all these ten sources?

  • A
    $I = 100\,I_0$
  • B
    $I = 10\,I_0$
  • C
    $I = I_0$
  • D
    $I = \sqrt{10}\,I_0$
