Chapter 11 Problem 46
Question
Calculate the change in intensity level when a sound intensity is increased by a factor of 8, by a factor of 80, and by a factor of 800.
Solution
Step 1 of 4
The expression of the intensity level is,
\(dB = 10\log \left( {\dfrac{I}{{{I_o}}}} \right)\;......\;(1)\)
Here \(I\) is the final intensity and \({I_o}\) is the initial intensity.
