The loudness, L, measured in decibels (Db), of a sound intensity, I, measured in watts per square meter, is defined as L = 10 log StartFraction I Over I 0 EndFraction, where I 0 = 10 Superscript negative 12 and is the least intense sound a human ear can hear. What is the approximate loudness of a dinner conversation with a sound intensity of 10–7?

The loudness of the dinner conversation is 40 dB

Step-by-step explanation:

Loudness in dB = 10

where is the least intense sound a human can hear = W/m^2

For a dinner conversation with sound intensity of = W/m^2

Loudness = 10 = 10 = 40 dB

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
