To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning provided in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between loudness (β) and intensity (I) The loudness in decibels (β) is given by the formula: \[ \beta = 10 \log \left(\frac{I}{I_0}\right) \] where \(I_0 = 10^{-12} \, \text{W/m}^2\) is the reference intensity. ...
