Using an intensity of 1 10 12 W/m 2 as a reference, the threshold of hearing
Question:
Using an intensity of 1 × 10−12 W/m2 as a reference, the threshold of hearing for an average young person is 0 dB. Person 1 and person 2, who are not average, have thresholds of hearing that are β1 = −8.00 dB and β2 = +12.0 dB. What is the ratio I1/I2 of the sound intensity I1 when person 1 hears the sound at his own threshold of hearing compared to the sound intensity I2 when person 2 hears the sound at his own threshold of hearing?
