How to Use the Decibel Rule Calculator

The Decibel Rule Calculator is used to calculate the decibel level of a sound based on its intensity. Follow these steps to use the calculator:

  1. Enter the sound intensity in W/m² in the input field.
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the decibel level.
  3. The decibel level will be displayed in the result field.

Understanding the Formula

The formula used to calculate the decibel level is:

L = 10 * log10(I / I₀)

Where:

  • L is the decibel level in dB.
  • I is the sound intensity in W/m².
  • I₀ is the reference sound intensity, which is 1 × 10⁻¹² W/m².

This formula helps in understanding the logarithmic scale used to measure sound intensity in decibels.
