Question 36

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-Use the formula L=10log1I0L = 10 \cdot \log \frac { 1 } { \mathrm { I } _ { 0 } } , where the loudness of a sound in decibels is determined by I\mathrm { I } , the number of watts per square meter produced by the sound wave, and
I 0=10120 = 10 ^ { - 12 } watts per square meter. A certain noise produces 9.92×1059.92 \times 10 ^ { - 5 } watts per square meter of power. What is the decibel level of this noise?


A) 184db184 \mathrm { db }
