Explanation

• The SI unit of sound intensity is watt per square meter (W/m²).
• Sound intensity is the amount of sound power passing through a unit area.
• It shows how strong or weak a sound wave is at a particular point.
• Sound intensity decreases as the distance from the source increases.
• Decibel (dB) is used to measure sound intensity level, not the actual intensity
