A tractor can generate a sound intensity of 55 Watts/m². Does this intensity exceed the level that can cause hearing damage (85 dB)? a) No, since 55 Watts/m² is smaller than the 85 dB threshold for hearing damage. b) Yes, since 55 Watts/m² is equal to 137.4 dB, which is larger than the 85 dB threshold for hearing damage. c) No, since 55 Watts/m² is equal to 137.4 dB, which is larger than the 85 dB threshold for hearing damage. d) Yes, since 55 Watts/m² is smaller than the 85 dB threshold for hearing damage.
