: The decibel level of sound by D=10 log(I/10^-12), where I is the sound intensity measured in watts per square meter. Find the decible level of a whisper at an intensity of 5.4 times 10^-10 watts per square meter.
After working at this one for some time I came up with 37.3 is this right. thanks for checking my answer. This question is from textbook Algebra and Trigonometry with Analytic geometry
You can put this solution on YOUR website! D = 10*log(I/10^-12)
D = 10*log((5.4)(10^-10)/10^-12)
D = 10*log((5.4)(10^-10)10^(12))
D = 10*log((5.4)10^(2))
D = 10*log(540)
About 27.3
