Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To solve the problem of determining the relative powers of two musical instruments based on their sound intensity levels, we can follow these steps:
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understand the Relationship Between Intensity and Decibels**:
The intensity level in decibels (dB) is given by the formula:
\[
L = 10 \log_{10} \left( \frac{I}{I_0} \right)
