SOLUTION: The loudness of sound is measured in units called decibels. The decibel rating of a sound is given by D(i) = 10.log(i/i0) Where i is the intensity of the sound and i0 is the mi

Question 1124982: The loudness of sound is measured in units called decibels. The decibel rating of a sound is given by
D(i) = 10.log(i/i0)
Where i is the intensity of the sound and i0 is the minimum intensity detectable by the human ear (the so-called threshold sound). Find the decibel rating, round answers to the nearest whole number.

The loudness of sound is measured in units called decibels.
The decibel rating of a sound is given by

Where I is the intensity of the sound.
and Io is the minimum intensity detectable by the human ear (the so-called threshold sound).
Find the decibel rating, round answers to the nearest whole number.
Whisper, 115Io
:
Io = the threshold of sound is W/m^2 (watts per square meter)
:
Since Io is in the numerator and denominator it's just:

D(I) = 10*2.06
D(I) = 20 db
