question: deep ultrasonic heating is used to promote healing of torn tendons. it is produced by applying ultrasonic sound over the affected area of the body. the sound transducer (generator) is circular with a radius of 1.8 cm, and it produces a sound intensity of 5.9 x 10^3 W/m^2. how much tiem is required for the transducer to emit 4800 J of sound energy?
My approach:
A = (3.14)r^2 = (3.14)(1.8^2) = 10.2 m^2
I = 5.9 x 10^3 W/m^2
E = 4800 J
I = P/A
5.9 x 10^3 = P/10.2
P= 60180 J/T
4800 J/ 60180 J/T = .0798 s <---final answer
