The human auditory system is able to detect changes in the sound intensity level as small as 1 dB.

(b) What is the percentage change when the intensity level changes from 80 dB to 81 dB? (c) What are the absolute changes in the value of I in parts (a) and (b)? Why are they different, even though the percentage changes are the same?
