Loudness Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Loudness = 10*log10(Sound Intensity/Reference Intensity)
Q = 10*log10(I_s/I_ref)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

log10 - The common logarithm, also known as the base-10 logarithm or the decimal logarithm, is a mathematical function that is the inverse of the exponential function., log10(Number)

Variables Used

Loudness - (Measured in Decibel) - Loudness is a measure of the amplitude or intensity of a sound wave, typically measured in decibels, which determines the perceived volume of the sound.
Sound Intensity - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter) - Sound Intensity is a measure of the amplitude or loudness of a sound wave, typically measured in decibels, and is a fundamental property of wave propagation.
Reference Intensity - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter) - Reference Intensity is the measure of the amplitude or magnitude of a wave, indicating the amount of energy it carries or its loudness.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sound Intensity: 75 Watt per Square Meter --> 75 Watt per Square Meter No Conversion Required
Reference Intensity: 0.001 Watt per Square Meter --> 0.001 Watt per Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = 10*log10(I_s/I_ref) --> 10*log10(75/0.001)

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 48.750612633917

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

48.750612633917 Decibel --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

48.750612633917 ≈ 48.75061 Decibel <-- Loudness

What is intensity of sound?

The intensity of sound refers to the amount of energy a sound wave carries per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area. It determines the loudness of the sound and is measured in decibels (dB). Higher intensity means a louder sound, while lower intensity means a softer sound.

How to Calculate Loudness?

Loudness calculator uses Loudness = 10*log10(Sound Intensity/Reference Intensity) to calculate the Loudness, Loudness formula is defined as a measure of the intensity of sound, which is a subjective perception of the pressure and frequency of sound waves, and is typically expressed in decibels, providing a way to quantify and compare the loudness of different sounds. Loudness is denoted by Q symbol.

How to calculate Loudness using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Loudness, enter Sound Intensity (I_s) & Reference Intensity (I_ref) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Loudness calculation can be explained with given input values -> 48.75061 = 10*log10(75/0.001).

FAQ

What is Loudness?

Loudness formula is defined as a measure of the intensity of sound, which is a subjective perception of the pressure and frequency of sound waves, and is typically expressed in decibels, providing a way to quantify and compare the loudness of different sounds and is represented as Q = 10*log10(I_s/I_ref) or Loudness = 10*log10(Sound Intensity/Reference Intensity). Sound Intensity is a measure of the amplitude or loudness of a sound wave, typically measured in decibels, and is a fundamental property of wave propagation & Reference Intensity is the measure of the amplitude or magnitude of a wave, indicating the amount of energy it carries or its loudness.

How to calculate Loudness?
