Question

High‑intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is one treatment for certain types of cancer. During the procedure, a narrow beam of high‑intensity ultrasound is focused on the tumor, raising its temperature to nearly 90∘C and killing it. A range of frequencies and intensities can be used, but in one treatment a beam of frequency 3.60 MHz. produced an intensity of 1400.0 W/cm2. The energy was delivered in short pulses for a total time of 2.70 s. over an area measuring 1.20 mm by 5.20 mm. The speed of sound in the soft tissue was 1580 m/s, and the density of that tissue was 1500.0 kg/m3.

What was the wavelength ? of the ultrasound beam?

How much energy ?total was delivered to the tissue during the 2.70s treatment?
