To solve the problem of finding the ratio of the intensities of two sound waves that interfere, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Relationship Between Intensity and Decibels**: The intensity level \( L \) in decibels (dB) is given by the formula: \[ L = 10 \log_{10} \left( \frac{I_{\text{max}}}{I_{\text{min}}} \right) ...
