Answer:
Explanation:
For sound level in decibel scale the relation is
dB = 10 log I / I₀ where I₀ = 10⁻¹² and I is intensity of sound whose decibel scale is to be calculated .
Putting the given values
61 = 10 log I / 10⁻¹²
log I / 10⁻¹² = 6.1
I = 10⁻¹² x 10⁶°¹
[tex]=10^{-5.9}[/tex]
intensity of sound of 5 persons
[tex]I=5\times 10^{-5.9}[/tex]
[tex]dB=10log\frac{5 X 10^{-5.9}}{10^{-12}}[/tex]
= 10log 5 x 10⁶°¹
= 10( 6.1 + log 5 )
= 67.98
sound level will be 67.98 dB .
