Sound intensity measures acoustic power per unit area. The decibel scale logarithmically represents sound intensity relative to a reference threshold.

Vanlige feil å unngå
- ✕Adding decibels directly instead of converting to intensities first
- ✕Confusing intensity with pressure amplitude
Ofte stilte spørsmål
Why is the decibel scale logarithmic?
The human ear perceives loudness logarithmically; a 10 dB increase represents a tenfold increase in intensity.
What intensity causes hearing damage?
Prolonged exposure to sound above 85 dB can cause permanent hearing loss; 120 dB causes immediate damage.
