Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A certain noise produces $5.7 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{watt} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ of power. What is the decibel level of this noise (to nearest decibel) ? Use the formula $\mathrm{D}=10 \log \left(\mathrm{S} / \mathrm{S}_{0}\right)$ , where $\mathrm{S}_{0}=10^{-12}$ watt $/ \mathrm{m}^{2}$ .

A) 88 decibels
B) 202 decibels
C) 78 decibels
D) 9 decibels
