1. A rock band's music has an average sound intensity level of 123 dB. What would the average level of intensity be if the intensity were reduced by a factor of 4?

(I want to decrease it by 12 so it would be 11dB, but iam not sure if that is right??)

2.An electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of 6 X 10^-12 m. In what region of the EM spectrum is this radiation?

(I think that it is in the gamma or the visible light, iam not sure, i need help??)
