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 = 10log%2810%5E-5%2F10%5E-16%29
V = 10log%2810%5E%28%28-5%2B16%29%29%29
V = 10log%2810%5E11%29
Log of 10^11 is 11
:
V = 10 * 11
:
V = 110 decibels
