Question

In which unit, noise pollution is measured?

A.

Centimeter

B.

Ohm

C.

Decibel

D.

Hertz

Correct option is C


The correct answer is (c) Decibel.
· Noise pollution is measured in decibels (dB). The decibel is a logarithmic unit used to express the intensity of sound. Noise levels above a certain threshold (typically around 85 dB) can be harmful to human hearing, leading to noise pollution concerns. The decibel scale is commonly used in environmental and occupational noise monitoring to assess the impact of noise pollution on health and well-being.
Information Booster:
· Centimeter: A unit of length, not related to sound measurement.
· Ohm: A unit of electrical resistance, not related to sound measurement.
· Hertz (Hz): A unit of frequency, used to measure the pitch of sound, not the intensity.
