The equation L = 10·log(I/I₀) models the loudness of a sound, L, in decibels, where I is the sound’s intensity and I₀ is a reference intensity. If a sound with an intensity of I = 10^(-8) W/m² has a loudness of 40 decibels, what is the value of the reference intensity, I₀?

A

I₀ = 10^(-12) W/m²

B

I₀ = 4 × 10^(-9) W/m²

C

I₀ = 10^(-4) W/m²

D

I₀ = 10^(-8) W/m²
