Math Problem Statement
The decibel level of a sound is given by the formula D=10\log ((I)/(I_(0)))
where D is the decibel level, I is the intensity of the sound in watts per square meter, and I_(0) is the reference intensity, 10^(-12) watts per square meter.
Suppose the decibel level of a sound is 90dB . What is the intensity of this sound?
