Select the correct answer.
The Richter scale measures the magnitude, [tex]M[/tex], of an earthquake as a function of its intensity, [tex]I[/tex], and the intensity of a reference earthquake, [tex]I_0[/tex].
[tex]\[ M=\log \left(\frac{I}{I_0}\right) \][/tex]
Which equation could be used to find the intensity of an earthquake with a Richter scale magnitude of 4.8 in reference to an earthquake with an intensity of 1?
A. [tex]I=\log \left(\frac{1}{4.8}\right)[/tex]
B. [tex]4.8=\log \left(\frac{1}{I}\right)[/tex]
C. [tex]4.8=\log (I)[/tex]
D. [tex]I=\log (4.8)[/tex]
