Two sounds differ in sound level by 3.00 dB. What is the ratio of the greater intensity to the smaller intensity?

Explanation

To solve the problem of finding the ratio of the greater intensity to the smaller intensity when two sounds differ in sound level by 3.00 dB, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the Decibel Formula
The sound level in decibels (dB) is given by the formula:
\[ L = 10 \log_{10} \left( \frac{I}{I_0} \right) \]
where \( L \) is the sound level in dB, \( I \) is the intensity of the sound, and \( I_0 \) is the reference intensity (the threshold of hearing).
