Answer:
The equation is = I = [tex]e^{4.8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
As given ,
M - magnitude of an earthquake
I - intensity of earthquake
I₀ - intensity of a reference earthquake
The relation between the three is as follows :
M = log([tex]\frac{I}{I0}[/tex] )
As given -
M = 4.8, I₀ = 1
⇒ 4.8 = log([tex]\frac{I}{1}[/tex]) = log(I)
⇒ 4.8 = log(I)
⇒I = [tex]e^{4.8}[/tex]
So, the equation becomes I = [tex]e^{4.8}[/tex]
