What is the level of loudness of a sound of intensity `10^(-12) W//m^2` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the level of loudness of a sound with an intensity of \(10^{-12} \, \text{W/m}^2\), we can use the formula for sound intensity level in decibels (dB): \[ \beta = 10 \log_{10} \left( \frac{I}{I_0} \right) \] where: - \(\beta\) is the sound intensity level in decibels (dB), ...
