< Prev
Next >

The loudness L of a sound in decibels is modeled by L = 10·log(I/I₀), where I is the intensity and I₀ is a reference intensity. If a sound has L = 40 dB when I = 10^(-8) W/m², what is the reference intensity I₀?

A

I₀ = 10^(-12) W/m²

B

I₀ = 10^(-8) W/m²

C

I₀ = 10^(-4) W/m²

D

I₀ = 4 × 10^(-9) W/m²
