A sound differs by 6 dB from a sound of ...

A sound differs by 6 dB from a sound of intensity equal to `10(nW)/(cm^2)`. Find the absolute value of intensity of the sound.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the relationship between sound intensity and sound level in decibels. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We know: - The intensity of the reference sound \( I_1 = 10 \, \text{nW/cm}^2 \). - The difference in sound levels is \( 6 \, \text{dB} \). ### Step 2: Convert the Intensity to SI Units ...
