Concept explainers
Sound IntensityThe level of sound β (in decibels) with an intensity of I is
where I0 is an intensity of 10–16 watt per square centimeter, corresponding roughly to the faintest sound that can be heard. Determine β(I) for the following.
(a) I = 10–14 watt per square centimeter (whisper)
(b) I = 10–9 watt per square centimeter (busy street comer)
(c) I = 10–6.5 watt per square centimeter (air hammer)
(d) I = 10–4 watt per square centimeter (threshold of pain)
