What would be the sound intensity level of a 23-decibel sound after being amplified ten thousand times?
Added by Jjhfc K.
Step 1
The formula to calculate decibels is: dB = 10 * log10(I / I0) where I is the intensity of the sound and I0 is the reference intensity, usually the quietest sound that the average human ear can hear. If a sound is amplified ten thousand times, its intensity I is Show more…
