   Sound level in the source side
   

   = 10 log		10-4		= 80 dB
   		10-12

   
   Sound level in the receiver’s side
   

   = 10 log		10-7		= 50 dB
   		10-12

   
   Transmission loss due to the partition wall = (80 – 50) dB = 30 dB

   Correct Option: B

118. ‘Threshold enclosure’ created by vertical surface or series of vertical elements in an urban plaza, represented by the ratio of height and distance, is given by an angle of _____ degrees (rounded off to one decimal place).
     

1. 1. 26.5°

   
   
   

   2. 16.5°

   
   
   

   3. 13.5°

   
   
   

   4. None of the above

   h/d ratio is 2 : 1 for the ‘Threshold of enclosure’,
   

   Thus, tan θ =	1	θ = 26.5°
   	2

   
   Though as a thumb rule, one can remember a value of 27 to 30 deg vertical angle for threshold of enclosure, whereas angle for minimum enclosure is 18 deg, after which there is loss of enclosure.
