Question

How many decibels is this? show work​

Answer 1

Answer:

• 115 dB

Explanation:

1. Given equation:

$\beta =10log(\frac{I}{I_0})\\\\ I_0=10^{-12}W/m^2$

2. Given intensity:

$I=0.315W/m^2$

3. Decibels

$\beta =10log(0.315/10^{-12})\\ \\ \beta =10log(315,000,000,000)\\ \\ \beta =10(11.498)=114.98\approx 115$
