HGV Sec 4E Preliminary Examination Additional Mathematics Paper 1 2023 [MARK SCHEME] 5 3 The loudness of a sound can be measured using the equation 0 10lg IL I= , where I is the intensity of sound to be measured and 0I is the intensity of sound that can barely be heard, also known as the threshold of hearing. The unit of L is the decibel (dB). (a) Given that the loudness of a scream is 110 dB, find the ratio of the intensity of the scream to the threshold of hearing.

Explain the impact, on hearing, the loudness of the sound of an unknown object falling from the sky onto Earth, if it has a sound intensity of 10.510− units and threshold of hearing of 2510− units.
