Answer:
I = [tex]\frac{1}{4\pi \ r^2}[/tex]
we see the intensity decreases with the inverse of the distance squared
Explanation:
Intensity is defined as power per unit area,
I = P / A
in this case we have that the sound is emitted in a spherical form therefore the area is
A = 4 pi r2
therefore the intensity is
I = [tex]\frac{1}{4\pi \ r^2}[/tex]
as we see the intensity decreases with the inverse of the distance squared
