Thanks for this.

It looks like this one has more useful information than the one they put out for Unit 3.

If anyone hasn't derived the equation for the dB to I conversions that it refers to, this is what I use:
$L = 10 log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_0})$

Log relationship: $y = b^x$ and $log_b (y) = x$

$\frac{L}{10} = log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_0})$

therefore: $\frac{I}{I_0} = 10^{\frac{L}{10}}$

$I = 10^{\frac{L}{10}} * I_0$

$I_0 = 10^{-12}$ (I think this is the value that VCAA gives on the formula sheets)

$I = 10^{\frac{L}{10}} * 10^{-12}$

you could go further and have:
$I = 10^{(\frac{L}{10}-12)}$
