Consider ten identical sources of sound all giving the same frequency but having phase angles which are random. If the average intensity of each source is ${I_0}$, the average of resultant intensity $I$ due to all these ten sources will be
  • A$I = 100\,{I_0}$
  • B$I = 10\,{I_0}$
  • C$I = {I_0}$
  • D$I = \sqrt {10} \,{I_0}$
