Sound level $\beta$ is generally expressed (in decibel) as,
$\beta=10( dB ) \cdot \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{I_0}\right)$
where, $\quad I_0=$ reference intensity $=10^{-12} \,W / m ^2$.
Now, let intensity is initially $I$, then sound level is
$\beta_1=10 \log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{I_{ 0 }}\right)$
When intensity increases by $100$ times, sound level will be
$\beta_2 =10 \log _{10}\left(\frac{100 I}{I_{0}}\right)$
$=10\left(\log _{10} 100+\log _{10}\left(\frac{I}{I_0}\right)\right)$
$\Rightarrow \beta_2=10 \log _{10} 100+\beta_1$
$\Rightarrow \beta_2-\beta_1=10 \times 2=20 \,dB$
So, sound level increases by $20 \,dB$.
$y(x,t)\, = \,0.6\,\sin \,\left( {\frac{{2\pi }}{3}x} \right)\,\cos \,(120\,\pi t)$
where $x$ and $y$ are in $metre$ and $t$ in $second$ . The length of the string is $1.5\,m$ and its mass is $3.0\times 10^{-2}\,kg$ the tension in the string will be .... $N$
