Question
### Problem Statement

Given the values of acoustic impedance for various tissues:
- Kidney: \(1.62 \, \text{kg m}^{-2} \text{s}^{-1}\)
- Liver: \(1.65 \, \text{kg m}^{-2} \text{s}^{-1}\)
- Fat: \(1.38 \, \text{kg m}^{-2} \text{s}^{-1}\)

The incident intensity, \(I_i\), is \(50 \, \text{mW}\). The angle between the incident wave and the boundary is \(90^\circ\).

#### Tasks

(i) Calculate the transmission intensity, \(I_t\), of the ultrasound beam that traveled from the kidney to the liver.

(ii) Calculate the transmission intensity, \(I_t\), of the ultrasound beam that traveled from the kidney to fat.

(iii) Conclude the findings in parts (i) and (ii).

### Explanation

To solve these tasks, one must apply the acoustic impedance formula and understand how it impacts ultrasound wave transmission through different media. The transmission intensity will depend on the ratio of the acoustic impedances of the tissues at the boundary.
