Calculate the change in intensity level ...

Calculate the change in intensity level when the intensity of sound increases by `10^(6)` times its original intensity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here,
`(I)/(I_(0))=("Final intensity")/("Original intensity")=10^(6)`
Increase in intensity level,
`:.L=10log_(10)((I)/(I_(0)))`
`=10log_(10)(10^(6))=10xlog_(10)(10^(6))`
`=10xx6xx1`
`impliesL=60` decibel
