What is the intensity of a sound wave called?

intensity level


How does the intensity of a 40-decibel sound compare to the intensity of a 20-decibel sound?

Given: Sound intensity level LI1 = 40 dB and sound intensity level LI2 = 20 dB. Reference sound intensity Io = 10^−12 W/m² (Threshold of hearing) Reference sound intensity level LIo = 0 dB-SIL (Threshold of hearing level) Get sound intensity I1 when entering sound intensity level LI1 = 40 dB: Sound intensity I1 = Io×10^(LI/10) W/m² = 10^−12×10^(40/10) = 0.00000001 W/m² = 10^−8 W/m². Get sound intensity I2 when entering sound intensity level LI2 = 20 dB: Sound intensity I2 = Io×10^(LI/10) W/m² = 10^−12×10^(20/10) = 0.0000000001 W/m² = 10^−10 W/m². The sound intensity I1 = 10^−8 W/m² is 100 times more than the sound intensity I2 = 10^−10 W/m². The sound intensity level LI1 = 40 dB is 20 dB more than the sound intensity level LI2 = 20 dB.


How many times louder is a sound wave with an intensity of 50dB than a sound wave with an intensity of 20dB?

Better think of the sound pressure, when you are listening. Sound pressure moves your ears and the diaphragm of the microphones. The sound intensity is very small. The level of 50 dB is equal to 0.0000001 W/m2 acoustic intensity. Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion of sound units (levels)".


What sound intensity level would you expect to be painful to most humans?

120 decibels


What is Decibel level?

A unit used to measure the intensity of a sound or the power level of an electrical signal. Someones voice could raise by a decibel.
