A sound wave with intensity 2 x 10 -3 W/m2 is perceived to be modestly loud. Your eardrum is 6 mm in diameter. How much energy will be transferred to your eardrum while listening to this sound for 1 minute?
Ultrasound is absorbed in the body; this complicates the use of ultrasound to image tissues. The intensity of a beam of ultrasound decreases by a factor of 2 after traveling a distance of 40 wavelengths. Each additional travel of 40 wavelengths results in a decrease by another factor of 2.
A physician is making an image with ultrasound of initial intensity 1000 W/m2. When the frequency is set to 1.0 MHz, the intensity drops to 500 W/m2 at a certain depth in the patient’s body. What will be the intensity at this depth if the physician changes the frequency to 2.0 MHz?A. 750 W/m2 B. 500 W/m2C. 250 W/m2 D. 125 W/m2
Solar cells convert the energy of incoming light to electric energy; a good quality cell operates at an efficiency of 15%. Each person in the United States uses energy (for lighting, heating, transportation, etc.) at an average rate of 11 kW. Although sunlight varies with season and time of day, solar energy falls on the United States at an average intensity of 200 W/m2. Assuming you live in an average location, what total solar-cell area would you need to provide all of your energy needs with energy from the sun?

- Threshold of Pain. You are investigating the report of a UFO landing in an isolated portion of New Mexico, and you encounter a strange object that is radiating sound waves uniformly in all directions. Assume that the sound comes from a point source and that you can ignore reflections. You are slowly walking toward the source. When you are 7.5 m from it, you measure its intensity to be 0.11 W/m2.
