To determine the equivalent noise level, the following formula is used

dB = $20 \times log_{10} \times \frac{P}{P_{o}}$

For 43 dB :-

43 = $20 \times log_{10} \times \frac{P_{1}}{P_{o}}$

43 = $2 \times 10 \times log_{10} \times \frac{P_{1}}{P_{o}}$ = $10 \times log_{10} \times (\frac{P_1}{P_{o}})^2$

4.3 = $log_{10} \times (\frac{P_{1}}{P_{0}})^2$

$10^{4.3} …
