Two students hear the same sound and their eardrums receive the same power from the sound wave. The sound intensity at the eardrums of the first student is 0.93 W/m2, while at the eardrums of the second student the sound intensity is 1.16 times greater. If the diameter of the second student’s eardrum is 1.1 cm, how much acoustic power, in microwatts, is striking each of his (and the other student’s) eardrums?

Thank you! A 77.8-Hz sound wave is barely audible at a sound intensity level of 60.0 dB. The density of air at 20.0°C is 1.20 kg/m3.
