Question 1132083: find the number of decibels:
a) from an ordinary conversation with sound intensity i=3.2*10^-6 watt/m*2
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you find the ratio of the sound intensity divided by he lowest threshold sound intensity that can be heard.
that appears to be 1 * 10^-12.
yo then find the log of that and multiply it by 10.
(3.2 * 10^-6) / (1 * 10^-12) = 3.2 * 10^6.
log of 3.2 * 10^6) = 6.505149978
multiplied by 10 = 65.05149978 decibels.
here's a refernece i worked from.
