Here is how the Sound Level in Bels equation looks like.

0.2 = \log 10 (\frac{1E-10}{1E-12})

0.2B = \log 10 (\frac{1E-10W/m²}{1E-12W/m²})

0.2 = \log 10 (\frac{1E-10}{1E-12})

Sound Level in Bels Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Sound Level in Bels?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

L b = \log 10 (\frac{I}{I o})

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

L b = \log 10 (\frac{1E-10W/m²}{1E-12W/m²})

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

L b = \log 10 (\frac{1E-10}{1E-12})

Next Step Evaluate

∴

L b = 2dB

LAST Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

L b = 0.2B
