The loudness (L) of sound in decibels is related to intensity (I)measured in watts per square centimeter by the equation: L = 10log( I 10-16 ). Find the loudness of a whisper at 10-12 W/cm2. A) 35 decibels B) 40 decibels C) 45 decibels D) 50 decibels

The function L= 10 log(I/10^-16) is a logarithmic equation

The loudness of the whisper is 40 decibels

How to determine the loudness?

The function of the loudness is given as:

L= 10 log(I/10^-16)

When the intensity is 10^-12, the equation becomes

L= 10 log(10^-12/10^-16)

Evaluate the quotient

L= 10 log(10^4)

Apply the rule of logarithm

L= 10 * 4

Evaluate the product

L = 40

Hence, the loudness of the whisper is 40 decibels
