The diagram shows waves of sound travelling through the air. An illustration of a point labeled sound source with concentric circles spreading out from it. Every other circle is 1 more meter away from the source. The sound source is 270 decibels.
By which factor is the sound intensity decreased at 3 meters?

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.

the answer to this is proletariats.

hope this : )
