The formula for measuring sound intensity in decibels D is defined by the equation D = 10log

Question:

The formula for measuring sound intensity in decibels D is defined by the equation D = 10log (I/I0), where I is the intensity of the sound in watts per square meter and I0 = 10−12 is the lowest level of sound that the average person can hear. How many decibels are emitted from a large orchestra with a sound intensity of 6.3 · 10−3 watts per square meter?
