The upper limit of the intensity level of sound waves is about 194 dB. This intensity corresponds to 100% modulation of the air; that is, the amplitude of the pressure oscillations corresponds to that of atmospheric pressure. What intensity (W/m^2) would be required to generate this level of sound?
Can I use the formula [tex] L = 10\log{\frac{I}{I_0}} [/tex]?
Because I don't know what to use as the reference intensity level...
