Chapter 0, Problem 53(choose chapter or problem)
The perceived loudness of a sound in decibels
is related to its intensity
in watts per square meter \(\left(W / m^{2}\right)\) by the equation
\(\beta=10 / \log \left(I / I_{0}\right)\)
where \(I_{0}=10^{-12} W / m^{2}\). Damage to the average ear occurs at or greater. Find the decibel level of each of the following sounds and state whether it will cause ear damage.
