Without actually calculating any logarithms, determine which of the following intervals the sound intensity level of a sound with intensity 3.66×10^−4W/m^2 falls within? a. 30 and 40
b. 40 and 50
c. 50 and 60
d. 60 and 70
e. 70 and 80
f. 80 and 90
g. 90 and 100

f. 80 and 90

Explanation:

1 x 10⁻¹² W/m² sound intensity falls within 0 sound level

1 x 10⁻¹¹ W/m² sound intensity falls within 10 sound level

1 x 10⁻¹⁰ W/m² sound intensity falls within 20 sound level

1 x 10⁻⁹ W/m² sound intensity falls within 30 sound level

1 x 10⁻⁸ W/m² sound intensity falls within 40 sound level

1 x 10⁻⁷ W/m² sound intensity falls within 50 sound level

1 x 10⁻⁶ W/m² sound intensity falls within 60 sound level

1 x 10⁻⁵ W/m² sound intensity falls within 70 sound level

1 x 10⁻⁴ W/m² sound intensity falls within 80 sound level

1 x 10⁻³ W/m² sound intensity falls within 90 sound level

Given sound intensity (3.66 x 10⁻⁴ W/m²) falls with 1 x 10⁻⁴ W/m² of intensity which is within 80 and 90 sound level.

f. 80 and 90
