The loudness level of a sound, \(D,\) in decibels, is given by the formula $$D=10 \log \left(10^{12} I\right)$$ where I is the intensity of the sound, in watts per meter \(^{2} .\) Decibel levels range from \(0,\) a barely audible sound, to \(160,\) a sound resulting in a nuptured eardrum. Use the formula to solve Exercises. What is the decibel level of a normal conversation, \(3.2 \times 10^{-6}\) watt per meter \(^{2} ?\)
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$\frac{\log _{2} 8}{\log _{2} 4}=\frac{8}{4}$$
The loudness level of a sound, \(D,\) in decibels, is given by the formula $$D=10 \log \left(10^{12} I\right)$$ where I is the intensity of the sound, in watts per meter \(^{2} .\) Decibel levels range from \(0,\) a barely audible sound, to \(160,\) a sound resulting in a nuptured eardrum. Use the formula to solve Exercises. The sound of a blue whale can be heard 500 miles away, reaching an intensity of \(6.3 \times 10^{6}\) watts per meter? Determine the decibel level of this sound. At close range, can the sound of a blue whale rupture the human eardrum?
In many states, a \(17 \%\) risk of a car accident with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 is the lowest level for charging a motorist with driving under the influence. Do you agree with the \(17 \%\) risk as a cutoff percentage, or do you feel that the percentage should be lower or higher? Explain your answer. What blood alcohol concentration corresponds to what you believe is an appropriate percentage?
