DeciBel and Intensity Calculations Video Tutorial

The DeciBel and Intensity Calculations Video Tutorial explains the equations for calculating intensity and deciBel values and demonstrates their use with five example problems. Numerous examples, illustrations, and animations assist in the explanations. The video lesson answers the following questions:

  1. How do you calculate the deciBel rating from the intensity value and vice versa?
  2. How do changes in the distance from the source factor into these calculations?
