Sound: the level of sound V in decibels with an intensity I can be modeled by
V = 10log(I/10^-16)
Where I is intensity in watts per centimeter. Loud music can have an intensity of 10^-5 watts per centimeter. find the level of sound of loud music:
"
V =
V =
V =
Log of 10^11 is 11
:
V = 10 * 11
:
V = 110 decibels
