Decibel:
a unit used to express the intensity of a sound wave, equal to 20 times the common logarithm of the ratio of the pressure produced by the sound wave to a reference pressure, usually 0.0002 microbar.
1928, coined from L. decibus "tenth," from decem "ten" + bel unit for measuring sound, after Alexander Graham Bell.

What is the relaationship between loudness and sound intensity?
Loudness is the colloquial term and intensity is the scientific term. More the intensity higher the loudness. Same way in case of light, higher the intensity of radiation, we call colloquially that as more brightness.

Do decibels have light waves and sound waves?
The term decibel is a unit of measurement of the loudness of sound. It has nothing to do with light, which is measured in lumens.
