Sound Intensity Level Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sound Level in Decibels = 10*log10(Sound Intensity Level/10^-12)
L = 10*log10(I/10^-12)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 2 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

Sound Level in Decibels - (Measured in Decibel) - Sound Level in Decibels (dB) is the logarithmic measure of the ratio of a particular sound pressure to a reference sound pressure.
Sound Intensity Level - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter) - The Sound Intensity Level refers to the logarithmic measure of the sound power per unit area, expressed in decibels (dB).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sound Intensity Level: 1E-10 Watt per Square Meter --> 1E-10 Watt per Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = 10*log10(I/10^-12) --> 10*log10(1E-10/10^-12)

Evaluating ... ...

L = 20

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

20 Decibel --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

20 Decibel <-- Sound Level in Decibels

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
