### Sound Intensity and Decibel LevelsYou are in a room where there are two machines. One creates a sound level of 80 dB; and the other 90 dB as perceived by your ears.#### Questions:a. What is the sound intensity in W/m² created by machine 1? b. What is the sound intensity in W/m² created by machine 2? c. Determine the total sound level in dB you experience in that room.Fig. 1: [Diagram/graph not included in the image for this problem]**Explanation:**1. **Sound Intensity and Decibels:** - **Decibel (dB)** is a logarithmic unit used to measure sound level. It quantifies sound intensity relative to a reference level. - **Sound Intensity (I)** in W/m² is a measure of the power per unit area carried by a sound wave.2. **Formulas:** - Sound Level (L) in dB: \[ L = 10 \cdot \log_{10} \left( \frac{I}{I_0} \right) \] where \( I_0 = 10^{-12} \, \text{W/m}^2 \) is the reference intensity. - To find the intensity \( I \) for a given sound level: \[ I = I_0 \cdot 10^{\frac{L}{10}} \] 3. **Calculations:** - For machine 1 (80 dB): \[ I_1 = 10^{-12} \cdot 10^{\frac{80}{10}} = 10^{-12} \cdot 10^8 = 10^{-4} \, \text{W/m}^2 \] - For machine 2 (90 dB): \[ I_2 = 10^{-12} \cdot 10^{\frac{90}{10}} = 10^{-12} \cdot 10^9 = 10^{-3} \, \text{W/m}^2 \] - To find the total sound level: - Combine the intensities: \[ I_{\text{total}} = I_1 + I_2 = 10^{-4} + 10^{-3

We have:The sound level created by the machine 1 is The sound level created by the machine 2 is The…
