Calculate the sound level (in decibels) of a sound wave that has an intensity of `4.00mu(W)/(m^2)`.

Answer» We expect about 60 dB we use the definition of the decibel scale. We use the equation
`beta=10dBlog((I)/(I_0))`
Where `I_0=10^(-12)(W)/(m^2)`
`beta=10log((4.00xx10^-6(W)/(m^2))/(10^(-12)(W)/(m^2)))=66.0dB`
This could be the sound level of a chamber music concert, heard from a few rows back in the audience.
