Reference no: EM13679488

One of the loudest sounds in recent history was that made by the explosion of Krakatoa on 26-27 August 1883. According to barometric measurements, the sound had a decibel level of 180 dB at a distance of 161 kilometer. Assuming the intensity falls off as the inverse of the distance squared; compute the decibel level on Rodriguez Island, 4,800 kilometer away?
