Homework Statement
Sound 1 has an intensity of 39.0 W/m^2. Sound 2 has an intensity level that is 2.5 dB greater than the intensity level of sound 1. What is the intensity of sound 2?
Homework Equations
I=energy/area*time
β=(10dB) logI/Io
Io=10^-12 W/m^2
The Attempt at a Solution
Intenisty 1= 39=energy/area*time
β for the second sound= 339.776
Using this i plugged in
339.776=(10dB) logI/Io
33.977=logI/Io
9.49*10^33=I/Io
and found I=9.5*10^21 but it is saying this is incorrect
