Answer:
Section Summary
1 Intensity is the same for a sound wave as was defined for all waves; it is I=PA I = P A , where P is the power crossing area A. ...
2 Sound intensity level in units of decibels (dB) is β(dB)=10log10(II0) β ( dB ) = 10 log 10 ( I I 0 ) , where I0 = 10–12 W/m2 is the threshold intensity of hearing.
