Question

The sound level in decibels is typically expressed as ß = 10 log(I/I0), but since sound is a pressure wave, the sound level can be expressed in terms of a pressure difference. Intensity depends on the amplitude squared, so the expression is ß = 20 log(P/P0), where P0 is the smallest pressure difference noticeable by the ear: P0 = 2. 10-5 Pa. A loud rock concert has a sound level of 112 dB, find the amplitude of the pressure wave generated by this concert.

I already tried to plug in the value for Beta and solve for Intensity using I nought as 10^-12 W/m^2 but it does not give me right answer please help..
