Given information
Given values:
Formula used:
The strength of a sound wave is measured in decibels.
The velocity, density, and frequency of a wave are all the same.
As a result, 
intensity is proportional to 
.
The decibel level 
of a sound with an intensity in watts per metre squared is defined as
where 
is used s a reference intensity that corresponds to the sound threshold intensity that a person with normal hearing may perceive at 
kHz. Sound intensity levels are commonly expressed in decibels (dB) rather than 
.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The largest displacement of particles induced by a wave is referred to as its amplitude. The amplitude, in the instance of an ocean wave, would be the highest height of the wave.
