The sound level at a point is increased by 30 dB. What is factor is the pressure amplitude increased?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how much the pressure amplitude increases when the sound level is increased by 30 dB, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the relationship between sound level and intensity**: The change in sound level (in decibels) is given by the formula: \[ \Delta B = 10 \log_{10} \left(\frac{I_1}{I_2}\right) ...
