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 1.40 cm, and it produces a sound intensity of 7.19 × 103 W/m2. How much time is required for the transducer to emit 3150 J of sound energy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

t = 11.85 minutes

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the sound transducer, r = 1.4 cm = 0.014 m

Sound intensity, [tex]I=7.19\times 10^3\ W/m^2[/tex]

Sound energy, E = 3150 J

Let t is the time required for the transducer to emit 3150 J of sound energy. We know that, power is given by :

[tex]P=\dfrac{E}{t}[/tex]

[tex]t=\dfrac{E}{P}[/tex]

Since, Power = Intensity × Area

[tex]t=\dfrac{E}{IA}[/tex]

[tex]t=\dfrac{3150}{7.19\times 10^3\times \pi (0.014)^2}[/tex]

t = 711.5 seconds

or

t = 11.85 minutes

So, the time required to emit 3150 J of sound energy is 11.85 minutes. Hence, this is the required solution.
