Answer

(a) $34mJ$ (b) $2.1\mu Pa$

Work Step by Step

(a) The required amount of energy can be determined as $E=P_{avg}\Delta t$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $E=(2.8\times 10^{-3}W)(12s)$ $E=33.6\times 10^{-3}J$ $E=34mJ$ (b) We can find the required pressure as follows: $p=\frac{P_{avg}}{Ac}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $p=\frac{2.8\times 10^{-3}W}{(\pi(\frac{2.4\times 10^{-3}m}{2})^2)(3\times 10^8m/s)}$ $p=2.1\times 10^{-6}Pa$ $p=2.1\mu Pa$
