Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A certain noise produces 4.23 × = $10^{-5} \mathrm{~watt} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ of power. What is the decibel level of this noise (to nearest decibel) ? Use the formula D = 10 log (S/So) with So = $10^{-12} \mathrm{~watt} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ .

A) 176 decibels
B) 8 decibels
C) 76 decibels
D) 66 decibels
