Intensity level of intensity l is 30 dB....

Intensity level of intensity `l` is 30 dB. The ratio `I/I_(0)` is (where `I_(0)` is the threshold of hearing)

A

3000

B

1000

C

300

D

30

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`L=10log_(10)((I)/(I_(0)))implies30=10log_(10)((I)/(I_(0)))`
`implies (I)/(I_(0))=10^(3)`.
