What area formula do I use for the human eardrum?

Anonymous said...

I = Power / Area
so
since they want power. Just rearrange.

Area of the eardrum.
They give you diameter, so we assume its a circle.
What is the formula for the Area of a circle?

pi * radius^2

Now using the forumla on sheet 9.7. Find Intensity, use the formula from the beginning.
