Sound Intensity using Sound Intensity Level Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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).
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sound Level in Decibels: 20 Decibel --> 20 Decibel No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

I = (10^-12)*10^(L/10) --> (10^-12)*10^(20/10)

Evaluating ... ...

I = 1E-10

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1E-10 Watt per Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1E-10 Watt per Square Meter <-- Sound Intensity Level

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
