Sound Intensity using Sound Intensity Level Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sound Intensity = (10^-12)*10^(Sound intensity level/10)
l = (10^-12)*10^(β/10)
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Sound Intensity - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter) - Sound Intensity is defined as the power carried by sound waves per unit area in a direction perpendicular to that area.
Sound intensity level - (Measured in Decibel) - Sound intensity level is the level (a logarithmic quantity) of the intensity of a sound relative to a reference value.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sound intensity level: 150 Decibel --> 150 Decibel No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

l = (10^-12)*10^(β/10) --> (10^-12)*10^(150/10)

Evaluating ... ...

l = 1000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1000 Watt per Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1000 Watt per Square Meter <-- Sound Intensity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

< 7 Sound Intensity Calculators

Sound Intensity with respect to Sound Pressure

Go Sound Intensity = ((Sound pressure^2)/(Density of Air*Velocity of sound wave))

Density of Air given Sound Intensity

Go Density of Air = Pressure RMS^2/(Sound Intensity*Velocity of sound wave)

Sound Intensity Level

Go Sound intensity level = 10*log10(Sound Intensity/10^-12)

Power of Sound Wave given Sound Intensity

Go Sound Power = Sound Intensity*Area

Unit Area given Sound Intensity

Go Area = Sound Power/Sound Intensity

Sound Intensity

Go Sound Intensity = Sound Power/Area

Sound Intensity using Sound Intensity Level

Go Sound Intensity = (10^-12)*10^(Sound intensity level/10)

Sound Intensity using Sound Intensity Level Formula

Sound Intensity = (10^-12)*10^(Sound intensity level/10)
l = (10^-12)*10^(β/10)
