    Using a frequency-measuring lab device, I am to map out the sound intensity level distribution (dB) in a room (both with & without music playing) to create a 5x5 grid of 25 data points. Using the following data table of sound intensity level β(dB) and corresponding intensity I(W/m2), I also need to find the intensity to the nearest order of magnitude for the points on my sound intensity level maps. Here is the data table: Intensity levelβ(dB) Intensity I(W/m2)   Example/effect...
