The decibel is the unit of Sound Level, which is a convenient way of representing the large range of sound intensities that the ear can detect. From the definition of the decibel we can see that increasing the sound intensity by a factor of ten results in:

Answer:

Increase of ten yields 10 dB increase

Explanation:

The decibel is a logarithmic scale that shortens a large range of numbers into smaller and more manageable numbers. The decibel is found using:

[tex]dB = 10log(r )[/tex]

Where r represents a ratio of a measured magnitude (pressure or intensity level in sound) to a reference pressure or intensity value. However, in our problem we only need to represent an increase factor of ten:

[tex]dB = 10log(\frac{10}{1} )\\\\dB = 10*1=10 dB[/tex]
