Results

Intensity Wm2
0.00242131W/m²
Sound Intensity Level Db
93.8405dB
Sound Pressure Level Db
93.9794dB SPL

At a glance:I = p²/(ρ·c); sound levels use reference I₀=1e-12 and p₀=20e-6 Pa. Complements acoustic-intensity and decibel.

Formula

I = p_rms² / Z.

SIL = 10·log₁₀(I/I₀).

$$I = \frac{p_{rms}^2}{Z_0}$$

How to Use

  1. Enter RMS pressure and impedance.
  2. The tool returns intensity and dB levels.

Case Studies

p=0.632 Pa, Z=400

I ≈ 1e-3 W/m².

FAQ

What is acoustic impedance?

Z = ρc, the product of medium density and sound speed.
