SOLUTION: Use the fact that the loudness of sound (in decibels) perceived by the human ear depends on intensity levels according to
L = 10 log(i/i_0)
where i_0 is the threshold of hearing

Question 1006431: Use the fact that the loudness of sound (in decibels) perceived by the human ear depends on intensity levels according to
L = 10 log(i/i_0)
where i_0 is the threshold of hearing for the average human ear.
A sound that causes pain has intensity about 10^14 times
i_0. Find the decibel reading for this threshold.
