Solve the Problem $\mathrm{D}=10 \log \left(\mathrm{I} / \mathrm{I}_{0}\right)$ , Where $\mathrm{I}_{0}=10^{-16} \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}$

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The intensity of a certain noise is 1.24 . How loud, in decibels, is this sound level? Use the formula $\mathrm{D}=10 \log \left(\mathrm{I} / \mathrm{I}_{0}\right)$ , where $\mathrm{I}_{0}=10^{-16} \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}$ . (Round to the nearest decibel.)

A) 101 decibels
B) 35 decibels
C) 102 decibels
D) -21 decibels
