5 * 10^-5 W
1.23 * 10^-2 J
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Area = 5 * 10^-5 m²
Threshold of Pain = Intensity = 1.00 W/m2
Using the relation:
Intensity = power / Area
Hence,
Power = Intensity * Area
Power = 1 W/m² * 5 * 10^-5 m²
Power = 5 * 10^-5 W
Energy transferred to eardrum. Exposed for 4.10 minutes :
Using the relation :
Energy = Power * time
Energy = 5 * 10^-5 * (4.10 * 60 seconds)
Energy = 5 * 10^-5 W * 246 s
Energy = 0.0123
= 1.23 * 10^-2 J
