Question
Given a reference intensity (I₀) of 10⁻¹² W/m², what is the loudness in decibels for an intensity (I) of 10⁻¹¹ W/m²?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The document provides this example calculation: 'L = 10log₁₀(10⁻¹¹ / 10⁻¹²) = 10log₁₀(10) = 10 dB'.
Hint
Use the formula L = 10log₁₀(I/I₀) and substitute the given values.
