intensity?

anonymous · Answer

given:

-sound level = 120 dB
- treshold of pain = 90 dB

RTF :

- Intensity of concert 
- Intensity of pain


To find the intensity of something you must take the log of that thing :

for the concert it must be :

120 dB = log C
$$C = 10^{120} $$

and for the pain it's:

$$P = 10^{90}$$

hmmm not sure though, correct me if I'm wrong
