Answer:

L = 65 dB

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the intensity of the sound is given as


I = 3.2 * 10^(-6)

now the loudness is given as


L = 10 Log (I)/(I_0)

now we have


I_0 = 10^(-12) watt/m^2

now we will have


L = 10 Log(3.2 * 10^(-6))/(10^(-12))

now we will have


L = 65 dB
