To calculate the intensity of a sound wave based on its intensity level, you can use the formula:

Intensity = 10^(dB/10)

where dB is the intensity level in decibels.

In this case, the intensity level is given as 150 dB. Plugging this value into the formula, we get:

Intensity = 10^(150/10) = 10^15

Therefore, the intensity of the sound wave generated by the jet at the given location is 10^15 (which can be written as 1 followed by 15 zeros or 1,000,000,000,000,000). The unit of intensity is typically watts per square meter (W/m^2).
