31. SOUND Recall that the loudness L of a sound in decibels is given by L = 10 log10 R, where R is the sound’s relative
intensity. If the intensity of a certain sound is tripled, by how many decibels does the sound increase?

32. EARTHQUAKES An earthquake rated at 3.5 on the Richter scale is felt by many people, and an earthquake rated at

amplitude of the seismic wave causing ground motion. How many times greater is the amplitude of an earthquake that
measures 4.5 on the Richter scale than one that measures 3.5?
