If the threshold of hearing is assumed to be the reference (0 dB), then the threshold of pain is taken to be 120 dB. Let the corresponding sound intensities be I0 and I respectively. Then I0/I is(a) 120 (b) 1012 (c) 10-12 (d) 101.2 

Answer»

Correct option (C) 10-12

Explanation:

Use the definition of dB scale: 120 = 10 log10 (I/I0) , which gives  (I0/I)    = 10-12 .
