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.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
