How to convert 0.5 µW to dBSIL? (1 W = 1 000 000 µW).

The decibel is defined as ten times the logarithm of power gain, expressed as power out over power in:
dB = 10 log
Pout
Pin
Sound intensity level (dBSIL) is defined by fixing the reference point (Pin) as 10-12 W/m².
Convert 0.5 μW to dBSIL (1 W = 1 000 000 μW).
(round your answer off to the closest decibel)
