- Sounds are produced when vibrating objects create pressure waves in some medium such as air. When these variations in pressure reach the human eardrum, it causes the eardrum to vibrate in a similar manner and the ear detects sound. The intensity of sound is measured as power per unit area. The threshold for hearing (minimum sound detectable by a young, healthy ear) is defined to be 10 = 10-12 W/m2 (watts per square meter). The sound level L, or "loudness" of sound, is where I is the intensity of the given sound. Use this formula for Exercise. measured in decibels (dB) as L = 10 log( a.

The acidity of liquids is measured by pH on a scale of 00 to 14.14. Distilled water has pH 7.0,7.0, and lower pH values indicate acidity. Normal rain is somewhat acidic, so "acid rain" is sometimes defined as rainfall with a pH below 5.0.5.0. The pH of rain at one location varies among rainy days according to a Normal distribution with mean 5.435.43 and standard deviations 0.54.0.54.
