I have a physics question if anybody can help me out. At 1m away a politiction produces a sound intensity at 80 dB in a park without obstables. Approx what is the sound intensity at 30 meters away? I'm considering using 1 over R formula, however it doesn't give an answer in dB. Sound I be using logarithms?

 

I know the threshold for hearing is 10-12 w/m2, however I'm unsure how to figure out how to use that in regards to this question. Help is greatly appreciated!

Formula:

LetI1=80 dBLetr1=1 mLetI2=?Letr2=30 mI2=I110| log((d1d2)2) | sound intensity I2=80 dB10| log((1 m30 m)2) |I2=80 dB10| log(0.00111111111) |I2=80 dB10| (2.95424250944) |I2=80 dB102.95424250944I2=80 dB29.5424250944I2=50.4575749056 dB
