State the safe limit of sound level in terms of decibel for human hearing.

The faintest sound the human ear can detect at a frequency of 1000 Hz correspond to an intensity of about 1.00xx10^-12(W)/(m^2) , which is called threshold of hearing. The loudest sounds the ear can tolerate at this frequency correspond to an intensity of about 1.00(W)/(m^2) , the threshold of pain. Detemine the pressure amplitude and displacement amplitude associated with these two limits. Take speed of sound =342(m)/(s) and density of air =1.20(kg)/(m^3)
