Question

If the sound level at a point is 98.0 dB, what is the intensity of sound at that point (Unit=W/m^2)? please help will give brainliest

Answer 1

Answer: The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale where each bel or 10 decibels correspondents to a factor of ten. A power intensity of 10^(-12) watts per square meter is the standard reference for a SPL of 0 db. So an SPL of 98 db corresponds to a power intensity of 10^(9.8)*10^(-12) or 10^(9.8–12) w/m^2.

0.006309573 w/m^2.

You can also readily find the value for any given SPL using the online calculator at: http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-soundlevel.htm
