i say 5 million times since 110dB = 1X10^-1 w/m^2 whereas the 60dB = 1 X 10^-6w/m^2 difference = 1X10^-1 w/m^2 All Divided by 1 X 10^-6w/m^2 and you get 5 and 5 = 5,000,000w/m^2

@MrNood can you check my work?!?!?!?!?!
@Astrophysics
Well as before let me list the formula first \[\beta = 10 \log \frac{ I }{ I_0 }\] so we want the intensity of the rock concert compared to the sound of a normal conversation which is \[\frac{ I_{rc} }{ I_{nc} }\] So we want \[\beta_{rc}-\beta _{nc}\] where rc represents rock concert, and nc is normal conversation.
50 thousand
\[10\log \frac{ I_{rc} }{ I_0 }-10\log \frac{ I{nc} }{ I_0 }\]
what is I/I0
so in this case, I = 110dB/60dB?!?!?!?!?!
\[I_0 = 10^{-12}W/m^2\]
threshold......oh i c
\[\large 110-60 = 10\log \frac{ I_{rc} }{ I_0 }-10\log \frac{ I_{nc} }{ I_0 }\] this is what we should have
Now solve for \[\frac{ I_{rc} }{ I_{nc} }\]
ok wait let me solve this way, then maybe i'll make my own smaller and shorter way to do the same qestion......cuz that's too long....
What do you mean?
You want to compare the intensities, you're given the decibel readings
So you should have a ratio, no units.
