Question

Please find the decibel level of this animal soundRound to the nearest whole number as needed

Answer 1

In order to calculate the decibel level of the given sound, let's use the value of I = 2.8 * 10^7 in the given formula and solve the equation for D.

So we have:

`\begin{gathered} D=10\cdot\log (10^(12)\cdot2.8\cdot10^7) \\ D=10\cdot\log (2.8\cdot10^(19)) \\ D=10\cdot(\log (2.8)+\log (10^(19))) \\ D=10\cdot(0.447+19\cdot\log (10)) \\ D=10\cdot(0.447+19) \\ D=10\cdot(19.447) \\ D=194.47 \end{gathered}`

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we have a decibel level of 194.47 dB.

Since it's greater than 160, it would cause a ruptured eardrum.
