On the decibel scale, the loudness of a sound, D, in decibels, is given by D = 10 log, where I is the intensity of the sound, in watts per meter?, and I, is the intensity of a sound barely audible to the human ear. If the intensity of a sound is 102, what is its loudness in decibels? (Such a sound is potentially damaging to the ear.)
